“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?” Ps139.7 ESV
It is a powerful experience to be in the presence of a person who is fully present. Whenever such people walk into the room you sense that they are fully there, alive in the moment. Such people somehow make those around them feel more present, more alive. These awake people communicate the very magic of life simply because they are interacting with every single thing around them very much like a baby who investigates every thing in sight.
I think that when we grow to fully and completely live this way (very much like becoming a child again) that we shall wake to God’s very real presence that is always there but not noticed. I don’t mean that we will wake in the intellectual sense that we believe that He is there doctrinally but wake to Him as one wakes to the presence of something alive such as coming upon a snake in a bed of leaves. Shocking at first to say the lease, and I mean God, not the snake. Yet, after a while, waking to His presence melts into living in His presence. It is here that we will at last live life as He intends. Until then, He is there beside us, patiently and gently shaking us awake. 8/29/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
