     | 493 views

    Have we thought of bonding with God, getting intimate with Him and desiring His Presence more than anything else in life? God’s presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.

    Opening illustration: Oswald Chambers once wrote: “It is not God’s promises we need, it is [God] Himself.” At Christmastime we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise. In certain parts of ...read more
