God doesn’t just choose to be with us from afar, but intimately with each of us at every moment, with every breath, with every blink of the eye. With every joy and sadness, God is there.

For Reflection:

• How have you experienced God dwelling with you?

• What does God’s presence feel like?

• are there things that happen in your life — things in nature, things in conversation, patterns that you notice — that help you to know that God is with you?

• What do you need from God right now? May you could take some time and talk through your needs, your hopes and dreams, with God, who dwells with you.
