When God Is There

It is not necessary to be always speaking to God or always hearing from God, to have communion with Him; there is an inarticulate fellowship more sweet than words. The little child can sit all day long beside its busy mother and, although few words are spoken on either side, and both are busy, the one at his absorbing play, the other at her engrossing work, yet both are in perfect fellowship. He knows that she is there, and she knows that he is all right. So the saint and the Saviour can go on for hours in the silent fellowship of love, and he be busy about the most common things, and yet conscious that every little thing he does is touched with the complexion of His presence, and the sense of His approval and blessing.
And then, when pressed with burdens and troubles too complicated to put into words and too mysterious to tell or understand, how sweet it is to fall back into His blessed arms, and just sob out the sorrow that we cannot speak! --Selected

What a joy to rest in grace. In this position words have weight, but are not always needed. Nothing is wasted - not a laugh, a sigh or a tear. There is wonder in the mystery of silence, whispers and screams. The spiritual war is observed and fought with faith and fear vanishes when God's love is felt.

To live in God's presence is to truly live. All other ways of life are death. Anything short of Christ-centered being is unacceptable and will never satisfy.
