Have you ever felt the presence of God? If not let me explain it to you. It feels like an unearthly peace that just can’t be described by words. Personally my emotions of love, gentleness, peace, and self control go through the roof. To the point that it is so much that you have to just kneel down, and thank God for allowing us to dwell in His presence if for just a moment. I’m not always feeling His direct presence, but I know he is always with me because all I have to do is look around. I’m currently writing this during a worship session, and all I have to do is look up and see my Lord walking through this crowd of people touching their hearts. I see people kneeling at the presence of the power of our God. I see people going up to people and praying for them in anyway the Holy Spirit is calling them to do so. I see people that can’t keep from dancing because the love they feel cannot be contained by just standing and raising their hands. I can hear prayers come from all around me. Just raining blessings over everyone in this room and giving Our Heavenly Father all the glory from this worship. Here I sit doing something I don’t normally do, and that is writing. For the Lord has just laid it on my heart to share what the presence of His love and unending peace feels like. I’m so at peace right now it’s incredible. I know I’m going somewhere with this whole Faith in God thing. By just how much His presence has become more noticeable. And to the contrary I can pick out sin in my life a lot easier. I’m not even close to where I want to be in my faith. But I have FAITH that God will Guide me closer to Him in all things.
Lord thank you for showing me your goodness and your never ending peace and love.
A Son of God

I don’t know why you don’t usually write, because this is beautiful. Your words are lovely, but the spirit behind the words is what grabs me. Thank you for taking the time to do this and put something into words that is hard to express. You are definitely growing closer to Christ!
