God finds so much beauty in those who love Him! Jesus Christ gave His all for us- He bought and purchased us with His precious life’s blood that paid for our salvation.! Then with our hearts and souls surrendered to Him, the seed- gift of the Holy Spirit was planted within us. Then we became a temple for God’s presence to reside(1Corinth6:19-10). While we abide in Him and He abides in us (John15:4-9), we long to go deeper into Yeshua’s love and union with Him. When we are near Him, our heart and our soul sings and worships our “True Source and Spring of life”! What pleasure fills us as we go within and seek to live every day enjoying Him and worshipping in His presence! In God’s presence we find strength, even when our path may wind through the dark valley of tears, we keep pressing forward and we continue to dig deep, until we find His healing and pleasant pool, where others find only pain. God gives us a brook of outpouring rain (Holy Spirit) and blessing! We grow stronger and stronger, while we discover that all our strength is in Him!
“God, your wrap-around presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones. For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, Ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked. For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, He is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory” (Psalm84: 9-11tPt).
