Nothing was more apparent to me after my salvation than the fact that Jesus was with me. His thoughts and His ways were so foreign to my thinking and my ways that it was absolutely impossible to mistake His presence. Up until that point God was just a distant, impersonal being, whom I found incapable of truly getting to know. Now He was living in me. Nothing has had a greater impact on my life than His very presence.

I’ve added a personally selected verse today, John 15:15, in addition to the one supplied by the advent calendar.

Matthew 11:19 “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.

John 15:15 “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

Resting in His presence,

Wes
