The Scripture…”and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19
The Devotion….
Enjoying God’s Presence is a practice that begins with examining the images that surface when we say the name….God. Did you grow up with an image of God as a large, white haired, burly but loving man? Or, did you grow up with a God image that was angry and punitive? Perhaps your image of God is one of love, mutual relationship, caring and forgiving….
Chances are that at one time or another we have all been exposed to these and many other images of God. Depending on where we landed on these images in our life journey, determines our ability to simply enjoy being in God’s Presence.
From the beginning God created us to be in relationship… To enjoy each other’s presence, but sometimes life is difficult, and we do not take the time to simply enjoy our relationship with God….
In Jesus we are given the human experience of God that we can identify with, so that we can know Love. The joy that Jesus experienced in God’s presence is the joy that we have been promised…it is the fullness of God that our scripture speaks of.
In Yogadevotion we invite you to take time, set a devotion at the beginning of class to invite God’s presence…enjoy God’s Presence, and let the relationship of mutual love fill you with joy…
