God is with us always, yet we don’t always admit that fact to ourselves. We know this to be true, and yet continue to pretend He is gone, and sin in His imagined absence. We read scripture regarding this fact as if it were preventative medicine, but it is also a cup of wedding wine served to heighten the celebration of our spirits. The joys we feel during secret acts of faith, the prayers that we offer without speaking, the sweet release of forgiveness, and the quiet tears we are moved to share while observing His miracles, are all witnessed by the great I Am. God hears the increased beat of our heart, and our nervous breathIng as He approaches... He sees in us our thrill in Him that no others are meant to know.
