CAN I JUST BRAG ABOUT GOD TODAY?

About eleven years ago, I said a prayer, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You.’ He answered. I feel His intimate closeness in every aspect of my life. And it is so beautiful.

Like yesterday, I was feeling down for no real concrete reason. A little anxiety about the future, mixed with feeling overwhelmed by the present. I finally decided to sit down and have some quiet time with God. Just the day before, I had captioned my blog’s pic with these words, “Repeat after me: God got me.” I got a feeling from Him to read my own book for this quiet time with Him. And in this book that was published two years ago, look what astonishingly showed up:

“God seems always to be saying to me, Nik, don’t worry, I got you! Wink! Wink!

I had a nice laugh with Him. Wow! God is pretty funny! This life is like a rollercoaster, some days we’re up, and the other days life can get the best of us. No joke! But that’s where God comes sweetly in, as He says this to all of us: Don’t worry, I got you! I’m just the God geek over here who pays attention!

And if that wasn’t enough, as I headed to work, a van cuts in front of me with a plate number beginning HUG. I knew right away it was God orchestrating this, giving me one of His hugs. Once you know God’s personality, you’ll begin to pick up on glimpses of His Presence. And I was right. Some minutes later, at work and needing to hear from Him AGAIN (No shame in my game) the very next post in my book said this:

“When I feel weak, tired or out of sorts, You’re right THERE TO PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME (HUG!), to comfort me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. You reach out and soothe my ruffled nerves, melt away my worries and fears and blow away the confusion that seeks to surround me.”

Not only did it describe exactly how I was feeling, it was God confirming that was a HUG from Him when I saw that van. Then coming home very late and tired, my daughter had left a bag on the kitchen counter, which I had never seen before, saying, “FREE HUGS.” Another wink from Him!

To be honest, sometimes I wonder if I’m crazy in thinking that these are really glimpses of God. Like, why would the Creator of the entire universe care so much about me. But at around 3 am this morning, unable to sleep due to a bad stomach ache, I decided to hang out with God, and this message from Him showed up in one of my meditation books:

“I’ll be there, though unseen, and you will feel the sweetness of my Presence.” – He and I

God, I feel it!!! And my prayer is that you too begin to notice Him in your life. That’s my assignment from Him, to tell you about His great love for you (yes, you!). No matter where you are right now, even if at nothing, say this prayer with me: God, I rededicate my life and my family to You. Amen. Trust me, He doesn’t disappoint! Wink! Wink!
