A touch of Heaven

I have never felt such intimate love, such peace, and abundant joy.

June 6

Best prayer time ever!

I didn’t get to have my prayer time this morning, so tonight before I went to bed I sat in a completely quiet house, and prayed. I was able to easily slip into centering prayer, quiet my thoughts, and just be with God. I wish I had words to adequately describe how heavenly it was, but I will try. It only took me a few minutes to feel the presence of God. He didn’t speak, but His love for me radiated from Him. It was as if it was only Him and I. Peace and love surrounded me and filled me to my innermost. A few times I could feel my thoughts trying to break in and I would start to slip away from my Father. I would simply re-orient myself back to Him, and love would come flowing down. I could feel the gentle smile on my face. I could also sense that this was only the beginning of my journey of centering prayer. A little while ago God had told me that the reality of the spirit realm needed to be more real to me than the physical realm. It will be this kind of prayer that will lead me there. When my time ended, I felt a little like Moses. I felt Like I was glowing inside and out. I felt a little weightless, nothing could possibly take away the absolute perfect peaceful joy I felt. I wish I could feel like that always. I wish I could say that all my prayer times will be just like that from now on, but I know that’s not possible. Not yet anyway, maybe not ever. But I know this is just the beginning, and It will only get better from here. I know I will experience that kind of closeness again and I can’t wait.
