Where can I go to avoid your Spirit? To be out of your sight? … I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too – your reassuring presence” Plasm 139 (Message).
I look behind me, to my past, and all I can see is you. Your ever watchful eyes following me throughout my life, guiding my steps within your will. From the beginning you loved me, corrected me, understood me, held me, cried with me, laughed with me, and you never left me for a moment.
I look ahead, to my future, and all I can see is you. The beautiful destiny you have planed, your smiling face as you watch me grow, helping me up when I stumble and fall, holding my hand through the valleys and streams, carrying me up the steepest of mountains, pouring out your blessing midst famine and lack, loving me no matter what, and never leaving me for a second.
I look right where I am, at my present, and all I can see is you. You know where I’ve been and you know where I’m going, you’ve been here all along. I feel your presence and your love surround, I’d be nothing without you. I’m completely at peace knowing both my past and future are in your hands. You’ve always been here, right by my side; and I know you’ll never leave me, not even for a single heartbeat.
That’s so beautiful. And so true. God’s unfailing love is amazing and His ever faithful presence is indescribible. Some times I forget, and it’s good to be reminded of God’s greatness and His goodness and His fathfullness. I really needed that today, so thank you.
BTW, the s**** you gave me was really good. I just couldn’t stop r****** it. I’ll email you with my thoughts.
Oh yeah, and I’m stll waiting for you to blog about camp! Not being there means I have to relive it through all of you guys who went. ^__^
