IN HIS PRESENCE

There are so many of us here 'til I can’t tell how many. We all have the same yearning to be close to Him. Our very existence depends on being in His presence. It is our sustenance and we can’t survive without it.

I am bowed down amongst many and when I raise my eyes all I can see is His foot and it glows in brassy hues of gold and light. He is seated on what appears to be a golden throne covered in jewels and His garment is white trimmed in gold. I can’t see anything else although I try, I can’t. The light it hurts my eyes so, I bow my head and continue to be fed by His great presence. It fills my spirit with insurmountable peace and love. Each person stays in His presence until they are filled Then they begin to interact with one another with an abundance of love. Some stay longer than others; I stay for awhile.

I observe everyone as I sit and wonder. I wonder where I am because it’s so beautiful here ‘til it’s indescribable. I would attempt to tell you but I have difficulty finding words. I know I want to be here, I want to stay and if I can’t stay I want to become a regular visitor. So, I watch everyone attentively in hopes of finding out where I am and how to return. I look toward the Man on the throne but I can’t see his face. The light is too bright; He is surrounded by light or…is He the light? I believe He is because I don’t see the sun or anything else that could be casting light. He is…The Light!

Here I am kneeled down at his feet yet I dont't know whereI am. Did I die? No...no, I’m alive. I can feel my heart beating, I can hear the sound of my breathing. My leg is in a cramp and I can feel the pain. But, I dare not move before my cup is filled.

How did I get here? Let me think… I woke up this morning, went to work, came home, cooked dinner, spent time with the kids, put the kids to bed, took a shower, and then I knelt down to Pray and worship the Lord.

I’ve gone behind the veil onto the threshing floor where God has sifted me like wheat. Leaving me filled with Love and Peace.
Yes, I’ll be a regular visitor I’ll be back tomorrow. Let me know if you want to join me. I’ll show how to get there.
