The other day I saw my life as nothing but rules. It became overwhelming because I knew I couldn’t follow all those rules. Yes, it’s easy to comply to the vows I’ve taken in His presence, but no matter how hard I try I won’t be able to be giving, loving, compassionate, and forgiving to everyone including my enemies.
Humans are by nature sinful; we were born in sin. I don’t even understand how we are born into sin, I just know I’m sinful now. I cannot comply to all His commands and desires at first. My flesh is compelled to think each situation over. I think, if this happens, then this and this won’t work and I’ll be alone or rejected.
But last night, God met me like never before. I’ve grown up feeling His presence most everywhere I’ve gone, and because of that I’ve become somewhat immune to it. I don’t know if He’s gone or if He’s here. But it’s completely crazy to think God is living inside of me.
Now when I’m in His presence, my knees shake and my legs feel weightless and I begin to topple. But I don’t fall. I can feel Him catch me each time I feel Him.
