"God is closer to us than our own soul...for our soul sits in God in true rest, and our soul stands in God in true strength, and our soul is naturally rooted in God in endless love."
Julian of Norwich
"I'm in the very presence of God - oh, how refreshing it is!"
Psalm 73:28
Wherever we are, we are enveloped lovingly in God. No matter what we face, we are resting safely in God. No matter what we do, we are anchored strongly in God. We are living in the presence of God at all times. He is like a great tree that shades us with His sheltering branches. He is like the very atmosphere we exist in, like an endless sea of love we are swimming in. This sheltering presence, this living atmosphere, this sea of God's Being, is pure Love, delighting in us, tenderly caring for us, always on our side, always our friend. How wonderful it is to be IN God at all times!
A thought: His presence refreshes me at all times, even when I cannot feel this.
