Present is the time when we can meet God.


This is something God has been speaking to me these days. There was a pastor who came to visit us, he is kind of my mentor, to which i am very grateful for the amazing work God has done through him.
  He said : ''we are human beings of the present time, we cannot literally live in the past nor in the future. Even every dream, idea, thought, are created in our mind in the present time, not in past or future. God is a God of present time, not that He hasn't been God in the past, or that He will not be in the future but the way He chooses to manifest in a real way, is in the present time.''

  Therefore, what i have learnt is that i can't meet with God in the past or future, only in present. Now, when we choose to realise this, is when we really get to meet with God. Disconnecting ourselfs form the past experiences, pain, sufferings, memories that hurt and also from the million of plans for the future, hopes and dreams and wishes and just acknowledge that we are present beings and the most valueble time we have is this very moment, next minute is not ours, the last minute already passed, but this very seconds is ours to take and choose to invest for something worth living for.

  This has made me realised how much i was caught in the past and in the future, forgetting to enjoy this very moment with God. Many times when i was coming before Him, i was having a divided heart, some small parts of my heart was in the past or was in the future thinking oh, my God, how will i be able to work this situation out? now, there is a verse that says '' come to Me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.'' God knows that is hard for us to put behind the worries of the past and future and this is why He is saying this, He is the only One who can take it away and give us instead the peace, His peace that goes beyond all understanding. Only with this peace we can go before Him freely and released of all our worries. Then is when we get all this revelations and amazing experiences with God.
  Now i start to understand why so many times i couldn't felt like i was entering His Presence because i was not letting go of all this that were pulling me back. This is the enemy's weapon, cuz the only power he can have over us is our past, that is why he is using it so much against us, especially after God has forgiven us.

From now on, at least i have this knowledge and i can remember that present is the time i am meeting in a real way with my beautiful Maker.
