CONNECT TO GOD
God is in the Room Always. Now.
It begins with desire.
Wherever you are, there is a gentle, kind, loving, compassionate, peaceful Presence with you. A Presence who longs for you to experience love, hope, peace, freedom, joy. One who is even better than the best you can imagine Him to be. Our Helper, Deliverer, Friend, Saviour . . . Lord. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? To have One with us who is so good? Is there a way to become more aware of God’s presence? To increasingly allow His presence to inform and guide us in our daily lives? To more closely align with the Way of Jesus in paying attention to God and then responding to His invitation, presence and action? It begins with desire Do you want to notice and be led by God? Why? Why not? As you explore your motivations, consider if you are: • Feeling uninspired Practicing the art of noticing God (discernment) is intriguing and can spark incredible creativity as we perceive the ultimate Creator.
