The Invisible Presence of God

Although you do not see God with your eyes, which is the lowest kind of vision, you can be aware of His presence in your heart and soul.

The invisible presence of God must be as real to you as the chair you are sitting on. That's what the Lord meant when He said, "As you have believed, so be it done to you" (Matt. 8:13).

My actions toward the visible -- people, things, nature -- must be guided by the vision I have of the invisible reality: the presence of the Lord in my soul.

A doctor practices medicine. You don't practice the Presence of God. You become aware of His presence. Faith reveals that He is in me. I have only to be still long enough to become aware of His presence and converse with Him. But His presence is not dependent on me.
