Remember this song we used to sing? In Your presence, in Your presence, there is peace. In Your presence, in Your presence, there is joy. I will linger, I will stay, In Your presence day by day, till Your likeness may be seen in me. Where are the other verses that say in Your presence there is conviction, discipline, or shame of sin? I wish I wouldn't sin anymore, but as my son said yesterday, "I am only human."
He's right. As long as I am human I will sin. As long as I am human I may choose to jump into the filth of my past again which will lead to shame and regret, which leads to needing God's forgiveness, to my releasing it all to Him and Him washing me clean... again. Wish I could be completely holy, but it won't happen in this flesh. I look forward to God's pure and holy new life in our new bodies in a world where no corruption or wickedness can enter in.
And where I can be in His presence forever.
FOREVER!
...For Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.
Js. 1:9
And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another
Comforter, so that He may be with you forever, Jh. 14:16
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,... And, behold, I
am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen. Mt. 28:18,20
In His Presence...
Broken
Desperate
Needing You, wanting You
Filthy
Rotting
Grieving me, my sin
Washing
Cleansing
All my filth, all my sin
Your grace
Your mercy
I don’t deserve, I do receive
Desperate
Longing
For more of You, more with Me
Needing
Wanting
To be with You, to see Your face
Come be
With me
My Greatest Love
Together
Alone
In Your Garden
