Thank you, Alicia! After a long day of ministry yesterday and feeling a bit wrung out today, this was a beautiful reminder that He is present today in the quietness and emotional void just as He was yesterday in the excitement and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So needed this reminder as doubts and responsibility swept in to rob me of victory! His presence is constant!

In reply to Sandra Weston. Sandy, thank you for taking the time to comment. I too needed this reminder this week. I'm learning as I age that I'm more affected emotionally by overcast skies and dreary weather. It's almost as though my emotions flatten. How grateful I am that He is constant and that intimacy is not a feeling.

Thank you, Alicia for writing, “Sensing God”, such a beautiful reminder that He is with us always whether we are aware of Him or not. I needed to read this entry exactly today. It was in God’s timing for me, so perfect.
With grace and gratitude,
Sandy

I caught the smell of Jesus a couple of weeks ago at a wedding – the night before our Easter celebration. The bride and groom took communion and then fed the bread and wine to those in attendance. Really, I was undone with the moment – sensing heaven and the Father so very close by. And while I felt humbled (unworthy) to partake in that moment, wild horses couldn’t have dragged me away. It was beautiful. I nearly had to leave the sanctuary for the flood of tears that was pouring through my soul and down my cheeks. Funny how God catches us off guard. I pray for a heart to always look for him, especially when my eyes are dimmed by temporal constraints. Beautiful words, friend.

Coming to terms with the reality of God’s constant presence has been a slow process indeed. When I was young I “got” the message that our walk with Him is by faith, not feeling, but that often translated into my attempting to hang onto my faith with grim determination. Joy was a concept rarely experienced and I fell into the trap of believing that only truly “spiritual” people sensed God’s presence.

I’m slowly awakening to a heart level realization that I am His beloved at all times no matter what my emotions or senses are registering. Thank-you for this beautiful post.
