Joy in His presence

I read this in my 'Jesus Calling' daily devotionals book this evening...

'As you turn your attention to Me, feel the light of My presence shining upon you. Open you heart and mind to receive My heavenly smile of approval. Let my gold-tinged love wash over you and soak into the depths of your being... I suffuse your soul with joy in My presence; at My right hand there are pleasures forever-more.'

I really benefited from meditating on these words this evening. Today has been a day of feeling not quite good enough and probably being too critical of myself. This has been a great reminder of God's acceptance and the joy of resting in His love.

('Jesus Calling' is written by Sarah Young and is a record of words she received during times of listening to God and waiting in His presence. I've been working through it each day this year and have found it really helpful).
