THE PRESENCE OF GOD

The third way of remaining attentive to the Presence of God is to contemplate Him living in ourselves.

While it is true that God is present everywhere, He dwells in a special manner in the human soul which is the masterpiece of creation!

When our souls are adorned with His grace, His delight in us is unbounded.

“I will dwell and move among them. I will be their God and they shall be My people” (2 Cor 6:16).

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you” (1 Cor 3:16).

God dwells among us, therefore and lives in us as in so many temples.

We should recognise His Presence and listen to His Voice, furthermore, we should adore Him, love Him and pray to Him.

Then, we can sincerely claim to belong entirely to Him.
