Fishmail Insight - May 16

Christ With Us
Let us keep that joy of loving Jesus in our hearts, and share
the joy with all that we come in touch with. That radiating joy is real, for we
have no reason not to be happy because we have Christ w/us. Christ in our
hearts, Christ in the poor that we meet, Christ in the smile that we give and
the smile we receive...

Christ is everywhere. That's what the bible tells us. We should inherently understand this in our hearts... that we should never say let us come into the prence of God... but say... let us be aware of the presence of God...
well... i almost sound like i'm ranting don't i... the truth is i don't know what to say, and even worse sometimes i find myself looking for God in my life... sometimes i don't feel his presence around me. Maybe that's the significance of the quote to me... to tell me that he's there even though i don't feel him.
i have had the experience of feeling Christ within me where it was so strong that i would never doubt.... but compared to now i know i have some spiritual rediscovery to go on...
if i come to a point where i feel like i can't pray or that i find it hard to pray... i should realize that Christ is with me... and will always be with me... and i should stop struggling against myself... and let him guide me...

i hope this makes sense to some people...
my insights are hardly easy to understand...
but yet perhaps each one of you can take away a different thought on the devotional of the day...
and u can share your thoughts with me so we can help each other grow persay...
