LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in My Presence.
Gradually you will become more aware of Me than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationship with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. My peace will permeate your words and demeanor.
You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken, because My enveloping Presence buffers the blow of problems.
This is the path I have set before you. As you follow wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace.
Psalm 89:15-16 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exalt in your righteousness.
Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God in Jesus our Lord.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
As we focus on God, his peace manifests itself through our words and demeanor while our ability to love and encourage grows.
Unshaken and shielded from life’s blows, we experience overflowing life and peace.
Following God with all our heart, we find the path to Eden, here and forever.
Amen,

Still waiting to arrive at that point of existence described in this meditation… trying to get there, straining to reach it. I’m not complaining… lots to be thankful for. “Like a song I can hear playing right in my ear, but I can’t sing it; I can’t help wondering.” – Jackson Browne
It does say gradually. How much of your day is spent there already? My guess is a lot more than most anyone else. As within, so without. Don’t strain, just be there, warts and all, as much as you can. Don’t sweat it when you are not. It will be back. After all, it is infinite. Z
