‘GOD, I NEED YOU’

That was my prayer to Him yesterday when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and overburdened. Can you believe He figured out a sweet way to let me know that His Presence is always with me.

I was so thrilled that my daughter, Ember, joined me on my morning run. The first song that played from my God’s Girl playlist was ‘Dior’ by Pop Smoke. I showed it to Ember trying to get her to listen to it with me but she was not feeling my music today. She started out together but she quickly out ran me and left me behind. I ended up taking my slow time back and decided to sit outside to have an appointment with God for a bit. She called checking on me (she does love me!) and came to open our front door so that I could come in. Unbelievable, as I came in, my mom is watching one of her judge paternity show and the name of the baby was, out of all names in the world, ‘Dior.’ That lines up too perfectly to be a regular coincidence. It was God saying, Nik, I’m with you on a run with your daughter. I’m with you in your home with your mother. I AM aware of everything about you and I AM ALWAYS with you!’

I’ll never get over these perfect alignments. Like why would God, the Creator of the entire universe care to reveal His invisible Presence with me? I had just read this old post in that appointment with God:

“SAY, “HI, GOD!!!””

“Hi, God.” That was the cute little conversation I had with my sons as we waited for hubby IN OUR CAR yesterday evening. One asked, “Is God really here? Where is He?” I answered, “God is everywhere, and He is always with us.” “Will God answer us back?” another asked. “Sometimes He does,” I replied. Can you believe God did answer?!? He figured out a way to let me know that His Presence was INDEED with us IN THAT CAR.

Fast forward a few hours, I’m in bed trying to sleep. But because my body clock still has not adjusted to the Nigerian time zone, I couldn’t. I then decided to listen to Rich Roll’s podcast, but for some reason it refused to play. I then go to listen to Bel Air’s Church’s, and boom, it surprisingly worked. However, the one that played, I ended up changing to play another episode. Listen to what the Pastor unbelievably says a couple of minutes into that other sermon:

“We CAN imagine that God is in the same room OR THE SAME CAR WITH US…” Wink! Wink!

Again, for that to line up sooooo perfectly, out of the blue, like that, was no ordinary coincident. It was God revealing His invisible Presence that’s ALWAYS with us. Of all the podcasts I could have listened to, for Rich Roll’s one to refuse to play, and for me to listen to THAT specific one after my sons wanted to know if God was really in that vehicle, was another one of my God winks, with Him sweetly answering, “Yes, I was there IN THAT CAR WITH YOU.”

And this is the love I’ve gotten to KNOW from God. He stoops down and comes to our level and our little lives to let us know that He’s REALLY there. Right after that, I smiled with Him, and I drifted happily off to sleep.

Are you getting to know God’s voice and His communications with you? You see that smile on my face in this pic? No fake smile over here! This is the smile of someone with REAL joy who KNOWS she’s incredibly loved by her God/Heavenly Father. I USED to be STARVING for the love and affection from others. No more! His joy. His love. His peace. EQUALS MORE THAN ENOUGH. God, fill our lives with even more of Your Presence. Amen.
