Into Your Presence….
This morning when I woke up, i opened that internet and have my breakfast, while surfing the net, the usual stuffs that i do everyday which is not very exciting though, lol..i checked my facebook, the news and until i came to my friendster page and i was able to listen to the music that i embed into my profile, which is the song “Lead me to the cross” by hillsong, i dont listen to it much often because it is just a shortcut song but geez while i listen to it this morning something struck into my heart, “I want to listen to worship songs this morning” so i started going into youtube and typing the christian songs that i like and started singing along with it, and while im doing it, my heart was moved with so much joy and love for God and it was impressed into my heart that i’m missing this, that very moment being with God singing and worshipping into His presence, with the Holy Spirit touching my heart and every teardrops fell from my eyes, and i thought ” ang tagal na pala ( its been a long time)” since i last felt His presence, His very close presence that i always longed for and desire deep inside me…then i remember the verse Psalms 84:10 “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshhold of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness” it is very true, every christian who experience God’s touch and presence doesnt want to be elsewhere but to be in God’s divine presence! and as i worship i felt that I am not alone worshipping God, that there are children of God and angels worshipping with me and giving glory to God, i have pictured in my mind what was written into Revelation, every creature great and small will bow down and worship God, and we will stand in awe seeing the greatness and holiness of God. As i worship i realized how Holy is God and how sinful i am, tears started falling from my eyes, asking God for forgiveness and there was a longing in my soul , longing to be release and rescued from this sinful nature that i have, the i remember the verse frome beattitudes, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted” Matthew 5:3-4, i found myself mourning for righteousness, and asking God to help me with His Holy Spirit. As a go along and sing i felt that i dont want to leave His presence and i remember the transfiguration of Jesus, and remembered when Peter said “Lord it is good for us to be here, if you wish i will make 3 tabernacles here, one for You, for Moses and for Elijah” Matthew 17:5, now i understand why Peter said that, because he wanted to just stay in God’s awesome presence and capture the moment.. yup i also want to “capture the moment”…well i always listen to teaching and preachings everyday, i always visit sites in the internet and listen to different christian medias, and on the radio too and have christian books that i read, but amidst all of these, im lacking something very important, that is a personal relationship with God, im earning knowledge from all that i read or listen too but im not growing and not having the presence of God in my life, so i thought i need to developed intimacy with God, so i continue worshipping and im so thankful for His mighty presence… welcoming Him to have my heart be His home and praying that I will continue seeking Him and will not grow tired doing this….I love you God!!
