Loving Jesus who never leaves

Psalm 21:6 For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence.

Yes, Jesus. The joy of Your presence! When I can sense You're near, I love it. I just do. Like right now as I write this. I know You are reading it over my shoulder, knowing already the words I am struggling to put down on paper, the words in my heart. I want to tell You I love You. I love Your presence in my life. It's what makes life worth living, You being near. Immanuel.

John 7:38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

Your rivers, Your flow. In the flow. In the zone. How wonderful that is. To be full of Your Spirit, to flow in Your Spirit. What a beautiful metaphor. God, I wish to experience this, and then know that hey, this, this is from God. This is God's work. Not me, not my craft (maybe helped a bit by my craft--no excuses for laziness here) but I want to be sure.

Maybe last Saturday was a clue. How when I first stepped into ISACC in July I knew you foreshadowed I would perform Ang Bagong Dating for Dra Maggay and the rest of the crew. And how last Saturday, during their 38th Anniversary, when you whispered that that would be the day, and I better start recalling the lines in my head, when I stood up, I was in the flow, encouraged by the audience, and just riding Your energy.

Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear Him.

This I shall keep in mind, Lord Jesus, as enemies threaten me. You are my Strong Tower, my Battle Shield. You are whom I choose to obey and run to. I love You, Jesus. I love You.
