I love God and I
enjoy being in His Presence. I come to
the garden alone, and He walks with me and talks with me, and tells me I am His
own. I enjoy walking in the cool of the day
with Him or sitting on the bank of a river, stream, lake, or pond, or by the
ocean. It is just so simple and
pure. I enjoy following Jesus as we walk
along His Way, His path. I enjoy
learning from Him; how He encounters others along the way; always
compassionate, always fully present to them; healing them, dining with them,
enjoying their presence. In that warmth
of love and acceptance many are transformed.
I love being in and watching nature as it speaks to me of the things
about God; His sense of beauty and order, and His constant and faithful care of
His creation.
I love reading and
studying the Bible. It is the Story of
God and reveals how much He loves all that He has created, even when they don’t
love Him in return. It amazes me how loving
and faithful He is, constantly seeking those who are lost. It humbles me to see how forgiving, how
compassionate, and how truly He cares about us as people.
It makes me sad
when people don’t see that. It seems so
simple to me. It started out that way
with me; simply His love and His Presence.
He walked with me through all my themes and schemes, all my wandering
off the path, all my selfish and bad choices.
I have come to a place of simple and sincere satisfaction. I don’t need or want the things that used to
take me off the path and out of the way.
Been there, done that, over it!
Now my long ago
dream of sitting in a rocking chair on a porch of a cabin out in the woods,
reading and writing insights from Scriptures and simply being in God’s Presence
is all I want to do. “One thing have I desired
of the Lord…” To be with Him where He is
staying. That is all I am seeking.
