INSPIRASUNS

Last night I sat on my lanai as I usually do to spend a little time with Father before going to bed. We have a fountain in our little pond behind us and it had just shut down for the evening. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was, I could even hear the crickets chirping. There was just a little breeze, and the stars were really shining in the sky. The temperature here has started to ease, and the coolness was noticeable. It was really just a beautiful evening.

I started to talk with Father, thanking Him for the day, for being with me and guiding me. What happens many times as I chat away on my end, I actually feel a tingle. I’ve noticed this feeling quite a bit over the last few months as I pray and talk with God. So, last night I pursued that tingle. What the heck do I mean by that? Well, I asked Father plainly, “Father this feeling, this tingle, I just know that is you guiding me, that is you with me isn’t it?”. The answer was clear, yep, even more tingly feeling 🙂 .

I’ve always been a Christian, have always believed in God, and have always known that His son Jesus died for me, to save me. However, it hasn’t been until the last several years that my relationship with Him has truly become more personal. I find myself talking with Father throughout the day, like a best friend. I’m trying to take time in my day to actively recognize His presence, especially at lunchtime when I take a break, (however short that may be).

I think it’s easy sometimes to think of God as this master being who is just kind of out there as the creator. Well, ya He kind of is all of that, however, I truly believe that the relationship He wants with us is that of a father. He wants us to look up to Him, to love Him, to want to be like Him. He wants us to know that He loves us, cares for us, and wants to protect us, very much like our relationship with our earthly fathers.

So friends, if you were like I was and didn’t really see God as a “father figure”, I encourage you to just have a chat with Him. Talk with Him like you would your own dad. You might be surprised and feel a tingle letting you know that He is indeed right there with you because He is.

Have a great day my friends 🙂 .

John 14:20
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
