My Reflections

Living in God's presence

Do we as Christians live in God's presence? Why or why not?

In one sense, God's presence is everywhere, so yes. In another sense, Christ died to repair our relationship with God the Father. So, if we have a relationship with God, then aren't we again always in his presence? I hope you are following my thought process.

One day I went on an errand with my elderly neighbor shortly before she stopped driving. Her driving was starting to get kind of bad and she drove onto the highway. We will just say that got my heart racing a bit. I began to pray and I realized that if I were to die that day, it would be like going from a lesser level of glory to a higher one. However, either God was there. I can't physically see him now but I can feel his presence. To live or die, I was consistently in his presence which brought comfort to my heart.
