Dwelling in God's presence

It's always refreshing & blessed to be in the presence of God. Okay, I have to confess: I'm still learning to merge God & work together. Not easy. I mean, the time I spent at work was so much that the amount of time reading God's words & talking to Him don't seem to be sufficient. So every Sunday, I just feel so blessed.

Especially today when we were rehearsing for our Prison Carolling, I can just sense God's heartbeat for the prisoners we'll be ministering, & God specifically reminded me that like for Paul & Silas, the prison gates will be opened. And this gate is not the physical gate, but the spiritual gates -- their hearts will be opened to welcome Jesus into their lives & they will no longer be bounded by heartaches, let-downs, & those seeking an answer will find it. Praise the Lord! I'm so excited for what God is going to do!

Even at this point of time, learning to dwell in God's presence will mean I have to sacrifice. I'm learning to sacrifice what I want for what God wants me to do. I can foresee that I will feel the aches & have the tears but in order to get God's blessings for what I want, I need to sacrifice it & walk God's way. Sigh... A real pain in my heart. God, please help!
