How to Experience His Presence in Your Everyday Life
Life is occupied, and we fill it with many distractions. Have you noticed how easy it is to be caught up in our worries, errands, work, etc..? We lose sight of what matters most, Him. There are things we can do daily to stay in His presence. When we can maintain that, we make God home in our hearts.
Jesus called us to show others love. He told His disciples, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” John 13:35. Love is so much more than just a feeling; true love shows itself through our daily actions. Showing His love to someone else will warm that person's heart. The ripple effect of that is they'll be finding ways to show appreciation to others, and so on. Here are some ways you can share love with others:
- Providing dinner to an elderly neighbor who lives alone.
- Gifting someone or striking up a conversation with an individual who needs a friend.
- A simple smile and saying hello to a person you are maybe passing.
Being obedient and in His word every day: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Overcoming daily temptations: "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
Being kind to everyone around you: "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24
Community involvement such as volunteering or giving: "Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to." Deuteronomy 15:10
