LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

When you feel like a lost soul abandoned and alone seek me in the silence of your heart. There is a treasure of infinite worth that transcends your being. In the depths of your despair and brokenness, there is the reality of my eternal presence. It is the light of my salvation manifested in the darkness of a troubled world. (Enjoy My Presence)

It is the spiritual awareness that the heavenly Father motivated by boundless love pours out grace on each of us despite us being unloving and hurtful to others. In that divine revelation, you realize there is nothing you can do to save yourself or make yourself worthy of God. It is the Father’s divine initiative and desire to fellowship with you and reveal my nature and character to you that you discover the spiritual reality behind everything you see in this life. (Contemplation: Seeing the World through God’s Eyes)

It is in that moment of God revealing his grace and love you discover you were created to love and be loved before the creation of time. God has chosen you to show his glory and eternal nature to the world through your earthly body.

My spirit is an eternal deposit in your soul that manifests my life to others through your life. I am the eternal Christ that bears witness with your soul that you are my child forever. You have access to my power and presence, and you can rely upon me to help you overcome your doubts and fears.

The mystery of my presence lives inside of you and not somewhere out there waiting to be found. Everything you need for living is present in you as you trust my spirit and presence in your life. My spirit always bears witness with your spirit that you are my child. You no longer need to feel you are a lost soul abandoned and alone.

 

Scripture:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 5:8-9 NIV

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.  Romans 8:16 NIV
