I must spend time in His presence

Even when I feel angry.
Even when I'm overwhelmed.
Even when I'm overjoyed.
Even when I'm barely hanging on.
Even when I'm hurting.
Even when I'm tempted.
Even when I'm afraid.
Even when I'm so busy.
Even when I feel alone.
Even when my heart is breaking.

I could go on for a while with that. The thing is, that thing that is missing from our hearts and lives? The thing we're waiting for some event or set of circumstances to resolve for us?  It's really God. Maybe he's made his presence known in other ways before, but we will shut him out now if we insist on receiving him only as we have before, or on insisting we cannot receive him in the midst of our current circumstances.

I must come to the quiet.
