So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. ~ Ephesians 3: 17-18 (NIV)
The sun was slowly slipping behind
the horizon. I was driving alone, heading north. I was talking softly to the Lord. I came to the
top of a hill when I saw the most breathtaking view of the
beautiful North
Georgia Mountains. It was
majestic.
I had driven this route more times than I could count. I’ve always loved the mountains. But this was different. The way the sky appeared and the way the mountains surrounded me captured every fiber of my being.

Christ's presence came to me so
powerfully that it felt tangible, heavenly in an inexpressible
way. As my worship music softly played, the voice of the Lord
whispered words to my heart.
My love for you is higher and wider and more magnificent than these beautiful mountains.
My heart melted in His presence. Heaven touched me and drew me close to the heart of God. I basked in His great love for the rest of my trip.
I am grateful to have encounters like this with Jesus in my normal, everyday life. Some days, distractions rob me of the quietness my soul needs. It's very easy to be in a big hurry and miss these spectacular God moments.

We don't have to be driving through beautiful
scenery to feel God's presence. We can commune with the Maker of
the heavens and earth at any moment of the day.
Jesus is waiting
for each one of us to stop what we're doing and rest in His
perfect love.
Remember to slow
down. Be quiet. Listen closely and let His presence wash over you.
Beloved Jesus,
Our hearts long to have more of You. Help us to
see and feel how great Your love is. Help us to rest in Your
presence continually. We love You. Amen.
A Thought to Ponder
The love of Jesus beckons us to open our hearts to Him.
Live Abundantly!
