Religion clothes the reality of God's presence with beautiful veils of adornment. We worship them in adoration. We hold the collective memories of God's presence in shadows rather than substance. They are wonderful and can lead us into God, but memories and echoes are no substitute for being with God. Our danger lies when they become the substitute for God's presence, or the only approved way to God.
Come out into the clear light of day and worship the Living God. Discover again Jesus who will never leave you, never forsake you. When we are faithless, He is faithful. We are the ones who wander. Lay your burdens down again. Turn and behold Him who is grace, and truth and the love of God. Leave your past for the present. For Presence is always found in the eternal present.
Oh Awake my heart and sing...
