In the quiet whispers, the stillness of the night, and the love of a pure heart is where we find God’s presence. We find him there waiting for us. Sometimes life’s path is steered by us to him. Sometimes our life is like a vessel adrift on a huge ocean and we run aground, when life’s pain is overwhelming we find him. He is always there; watching, waiting, loving, nudging, stirring our hearts and minds for him. The spirit inside us swells up and fills the empty spaces that our mind tells us are there.

The empty spaces are love that was never given. A door that wasn’t opened, a kind word not spoken when we felt we should, a kind act in a world of selfishness. All of us have our empty spaces. All of us feel a longing to be whole.

With the presence of God we can feel that way. When we let him in our lives to fill the voids we are whole. We, as imperfect minds and bodies become perfect. Every day we walk with God is a day spent well. He is always there in the quiet of our minds.

2 Timothy 1:14

“Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.”

This glorious day, let us remember to be still, to let God into our hearts, and let our light shine for the world around us. When we share the love of God, we multiply it in the world around us and our own cup overflows.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”

Today let us remember what God has given us gladly through the crucifixion of Jesus and the resurrection of the one true life giving, life restoring, savior of the world.
