Reflecting on the great moments of forgiveness in human history also got me to thinking about the moments when I am most aware of and sensitive to the presence of God in my life and around me. I wish that I was more like David when he wrote, "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you ... My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." (Psalm 63:1, 8)
It is in those moments that I most strongly feel the presence of God that I also feel most alive. So, I offer to you the following list that I call - Great Enablers to Encountering the Presence of God:
Hearing & Singing Heart Warming & Soul Stirring Music
Experiencing the Awe Inspiring Beauty in Nature
Observing the Honesty & Innocence of the Mentally Handicapped
Observing the Tender Care & Concern Shown to One Another by Lifelong Spouses
Experiencing the Faith & Hope of Christian Families in the face of Death
Witnessing the Church functioning as the Body of Christ
Receiving the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper
Experiencing Brokenness in a Moment of Vulnerability and Weakness
Having opportunity to Serve God & Others using One’s Spiritual Gifts
What enablers would you add to this list of experiences or activities that help you to encounter God in a more powerful way?
