I’m posting this as a prayer because I’m learning to pray that Jesus would continually blow me away with His awesome presence. I want that—not only for myself—but for all that follow Jesus! I hope you guys will agree with me in prayer that Jesus will begin to be to us as BIG as He really is! :-)

__________

We shall be forever with Christ!

The presence of Jesus will dissipate all gloom, disperse all slavish fears, chase away all darkness, free from all pain, deliver from all sorrow, preserve from all sickness, raise us above all temptations, and fill us with unspeakably glorious joy.

To be with Christ–to be with Christ forever–this comprises all that we now desire, and all that we can wish.

—James Smith, “The Love of Christ: the Fullness, Freeness, and Immutability of the Savior’s Grace Displayed”
