As I write this, I am
on the eve of returning to work after some vacation time. Each week that I
write this column, my intent is to encourage everyone to seek, find, accept and
bathe in God’s presence. I cannot help but want to share Him with the readers each
week. I have lost count as to the number of people who stop me and share
that they read these messages. I am humbled, and surprised when the most
unexpected sources of thanks come my way. God writes every one of these, and
like many others who share this space, I am only used to put into print, what
He wants us to share. You see, Jesus comes into all of our lives, not just a
selected few. It is only when we ask Him in and accept Him, that we see His
presence. When we ask, and pray with sincerity to God, we can expect to be
saturated by Him daily.
What really gets my
juices flowing is when someone finally gets God. It could be through the
agonizing process of a health issue, a major surgery, an emotional roller
coaster due to relationship issues or whatever. When any one shares with me, or
you, that God has impacted their lives, and acknowledges Him, let’s agree to
believe He is smiling. Most of the time, we will not immediately see how He
works, or puts the pieces in place for us. That being said, it is important not
to be fooled into connecting any dots in the human, because how He fits
everything, is totally different than our understanding. When we give God all
the glory, and credit for good things in our life, we know that He will keep us
close to Him. Matthew 10:32 NIV, Jesus tells us “Whoever acknowledges me before
others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven”.
As good as it is to
let others know that God has made a profound difference in our lives, it is
more important to give all praise and honor to Him. With every challenge, thank
Him, and with every breakthrough, praise Him. When this becomes the norm in
your daily living, then you too will know that you are understanding more, what
He has in store for you. In other words, you’re finally getting God. That, my
friends, in itself will be that aha moment we all want.
