THE AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE IS WHAT GIVES US THE COURAGE TO KEEP GOING

And yesterday He made me aware of His Presence when I reshared a post I loved so much after reading it that morning, sitting by my prayer altar. Fast forward to that afternoon, I shared a digital copy of my book with someone. Out of 366 posts in that book, I showed her how I would pray and ask God what He had to say through it, just by randomly swiping and seeing where it stopped. It shockingly stopped on that very post I had shared a few hours prior! No coincidence that out of 366 posts in that book that it stopped precisely there!! God Himself was saying, ‘Wink Wink! My Nik, I’m right here with you!

Let me tell ya, I’m holding on to these glimmers from God of His Presence with me as this gives me the joy, courage, peace, and love to take on my life. THE GOD PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING!!! Here’s that post from my book, Keep Calm, You’re Rolling With God:

“I THINK I’M BIPOLAR TOO SOMETIMES!”

I jokingly commented to a friend. That’s probably why I love the following quote:

“What I learned from A Course in Miracles is that the change we’re looking for is inside our heads. Events are always in flux. One day people love you; the next day you’re their target. One day a situation is running smoothly; the next chaos reigns. One day you feel like you’re an okay person; the next day you feel like you’re an utter failure. These changes in life are always going to happen because they’re part of the human experience. What we can change, however, is how we perceive them.

There’s a biblical story in which Jesus says we can build our house on sand or on rock. Our house is our emotional stability. When it is built on sand, the winds and rain can tear it down. One disappointing phone call and we crumble; one storm and the house falls down.

When our house is built on rock, it is sturdy and strong, and the storms can’t destroy it. We are not so vulnerable to life’s passing dramas. Our stability rests on something more enduring than the current weather, something permanent and strong. We’re depending on God (A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson).
“You gain confidence through knowing that I (God) am with you – that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?” The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and I together can handle anything that occurs. It is this you-and-I together factor that gives you confidence to face your day cheerfully (Jesus Calling by Sarah Young).”

God is our constant Companion, and our life is all about a journey with Him. Don’t forget this! Have those endless conversations with Him and trust those feelings, always going with the decisions that bring you peace.
Our Father, with You on our side and by our side, there is nothing that We can’t handle together. Amen.

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD
