This year started out strong for me spiritually. I was ready to run the race God had put before me. The year progressed, and the strong sense of God's presence was fading in my spiritual life. By the time we hit the half way mark, I was longing to feel God's presence surrounding me in a tangible way. I was trying so hard to feel something that seemed like it wasn't there. It was almost like I was a digging in the ground in hopes to end up on the other side of the world...something that seemed impossible. I was discontent...longing to be spiritually fed.
I knew exactly what I was looking for, what I needed, and what I so longed to feel. My aunt and I were texting, she simply said the words, "You need to be spiritually fed." And as I read that text message, I realized that was exactly what I needed. I decided one night a few weeks ago to go to Elevation...I went by myself to clear my head, I had lots on my mind and knew Jesus could do just that. I went and was amazed at how quickly God's presence entered the room. I got goosebumps....it was as if God was in the room sitting right in front of me. His presence was so real. My heart was full. I was content. What I had longed to feel for so long had finally arrived. I left that amazing place of worship refreshed and rejuvenated. It was the most incredible thing. That night, I was spiritually fed. And since then, I would definitely say I have been even more so. I found exactly what I needed, was looking for, and what I longed for....and I found it all in Jesus.
My relationship with God is no where near perfect. I don't always feel God's presence...it's not like I walk into a church and His presence automatically comes over me. I don't have access to some magical switch to feel God's presence. It's the fact that God is always there, but sometimes it's just a matter of letting yourself feel Him.
He had been there all along, but I let myself feel His love around me...and He fed me. Spiritually.
"Jesus is always there, it's just a matter of opening your eyes and finding Him."

Thank you. For constantly encouraging me...for seeing in me the things that I don't always see in myself. I love you and am thankful for you.
