For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:14-19)

When you enter into the realm of God’s love it is about His strength of feeling in your inner man.  He is inside of you like a strong breath, pulsating in your heart and in your being.

His presence becomes a guiding force.  When you feel it, you feel capable of doing anything.  Ideas will come into your mind that would seem bizarre except for the fact that you are drunk on His Holy presence.  God in your inner man will cause you to walk on water.  You will jump and fly into mid-air.  Nothing seems impossible when God is closer to you than the breath you breathe.

I keep praying more and more to know the love of God.  I want to experience that love.  I want to be transformed by it.  I don’t want anything to come between me and my God and I am willing to do whatever he says to remain in the place of His presence.  When God speaks I am quick to listen because His spirit is all I desire.

The things of this world actually grow strange and dim when you encounter the glory of His presence.  I remember being fond of the strangest things before Jesus but when He came to life in my heart, all of a sudden these things paled in comparison to His wonderful presence.  I was willing to give up everything to stay in that place of presence.  I turned and walked away from the world in order to grasp the one thing my soul longed for more than anything else–and that was God.

And for these ten years I have been turning from the world more and more.  In the end the only thing that will remain is love.  The only thing that I will take with me into eternity is the presence of God.  I love Him more than life.  I want Him to be more real to me tomorrow than He is even today.

He is pruning me and cleansing me and making me more into His image.  Each time He speaks to me I become more like Him.  He whispers change and I change.

I have learned to listen quickly, because the rewards of His love and peace far outweigh anything that you or this world could give to me.  I have been tempted in many ways, but I continue in His presence, because it is better than all other temptations.

It is by faith that I have stepped into this place.  At one point I made the decision that Jesus was all I needed.  I determined in my heart that all other things that I needed in this life were not as important as He was.  I have not regretted one moment of my life in Christ.  Before Christ my life was filled with regrets.  I was filled with shame and sorrow.  Now these no longer rule my life.

I am ruled by the peace of God.  I am rooted and grounded in love.  Even when I make mistakes, He loves me.  Even when I fail, He is there.  He makes a way where there seems to be no way.  As long as I do what He says and I am obedient, then I remain in Him.

I pray for you and for me today that we will remain through every storm, through every crisis and through every trial.  I pray that you will walk on water and that you will see the foul waters of your heart turned into wine–the finest wine.

May His blessings surpass you and encompass you today.
