In the beginning of my walk with Jesus I frequently sang hymns that were inspirational in many respects, but I didn’t fully understand what I was singing.
Now, over fifty years later, they are more meaningful to me than ever as many of them describe my desire to live in His presence.
I used to live for worldly pleasure but it was always fleeting. No matter what I desired, if and when I got it, the joy I wanted was never enough. It was like chasing a phantom.
I have discovered in Jesus the real peace and joy for which long I have sought. The contentment and ease I have in every situation is because of the reality of His glory which is becoming increasingly more delightful.
I pray that God will help me love Him with more abandonment than ever before.
