I have been thinking a lot about being present lately. This is what I think about throughout the day...while driving especially: If we believe that God is omnipotent (which I do), and omniscient - possessiving unlimited and infinite knowledge, then we can conclude that God is present right now. Like, right this moment. And it's not just a one-way street. If God is present right now...then WE are also in God's presence. All the time. So am I doing my best to be present in front of God? I think about my days: home, work, errands, home, dinner, dishes, running here and there. How present can I be when I'm so harried and rushed. I need to take time to deliberately s-l-o-w d-o-w-n....and be present.
And then, if we believe that God is Love (which I do). Then Love is omnipotent and omniscient. Love conquers all. This explains "Good will always prevail over evil". Because if God is Love; Love is omnipotent and infinite. Therefore, good will always prevail because evil is finite. Am I doing my best to convey God's love to others - always? Am I present in Love?
This is something that I'll continue to work on. Conveying love through action.
