In His Presence

A prayer petition from God's Minute (August 10): "..We pray for the blessing of Thy Presence through all the tangled pathway..."

Galatians 1:4 - "He gave Himself for our sins, that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the Will of our God and Father."

An excerpt from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (August 10):   "Relax in My Healing, Holy Presence....Time spent with Me not only increases your trust; it also helps you discern what is important and what is not...."

God would have us be rescued from the tangled pathway of earthly life.  He brings His Presence to us courtesy of Jesus, our Savior and Friend.  Hear the inviting words of Jesus:

Relax in My Presence

Stay in My Presence

Enter into My Presence

Soak up My Presence

Experience My Presence

Live in My Presence

Embrace My Presence

Abound in My Presence

Be filled with My Presence

Receive My Presence

Unburden yourself in My Presence

I guess it all comes down to His Presence!  

May you be surrounded by His Holy Presence this very day, this very moment.

 

 

What's holding you back?

What is it that makes us hesitant to come to Jesus?

Skeptical?

Curious?

Wondering?

Staying in the shadows?

Keeping at arm's length?

Not ready to commit?

Torn?  Vascillating?  Unsure?  Questions?

Guilty?

Unprepared?

Needy?

Scared?

The Good News is that Jesus is approachable.  He is non-condemning.  He is welcoming.  Jesus is always about invitation - Come and see!

Sarah Young shares in her book, Jesus Calling, this excerpt from July 31: "...When you feel flustered and frazzled...remind yourself that...I am with you at all times." 

Let all arguments, fears and hesitations fall away.  Be bold.  Be brave.  Be received into His open arms.
