This morning I was so moved again by my Lord. I have not been in the best place for a few weeks now, and I have been really clinging to Him and holding on to Him and spending time at his feet. This weekend I had time alone at home and I put on my worship cds and just worshipped Him. This morning in my office I put on my music in my office because I have felt lifted up out of the nasty place when in worship and I decided I am not going to listen to anything else today but worship. I know He is with me and I can feel His presence – lately though a little stronger than most times. Then just now a lady came in from the factory to bring me a little bottle to send on an overnight courier – and after she gave me the bottle she just stood quietly next to me. She said that if felt good in my office, the “atmosphere” was pleasant. She said she didn’t want to leave. Eventually she had to leave, but did so reluctantly. Now, my office is not warm or expensively furnished. I have only a small little bar heater which takes ALL day to warm my office. So I know that the warmth and peace she was feeling is God’s presence. When she did leave I was left with tears streaming down my cheeks. He is so amazing and He is with me in such a way that even other people can feel His presence. Imagine what it will be like to be with Him in heaven one day. If His presence is so overwhelming while we are still on earth – how will it feel to be standing in that place in heaven?
This song captures that for me so beautifully.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE (by Mercy Me)
I can only imagine
what it will be like
when I walk by Your side.
I can only imagine
what my eyes will see
when Your face, is before me.
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory
what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus
or in aw of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence
or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine….
I can only imagine.
I can only imagine
when that day comes
and I find myself,
standing in the sun.
I can only imagine
when all I would do
is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory
what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus
or in aw of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence
or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory
what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus
or in aw of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence
or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
when all I would do
is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine
Thank you Lord for being with me in such an awesome way.

I am glad that you had that time.
wonderful wonderful wonderful!
Hye Brig, I have tagged you for 5 things I dig about Jesus
Will be praying. Do check out "The Carpenters Hand's" latest postings on the Desert- they are brilliant!
Hang in there Brig. You're in the safest place.
You have such a heart for Him. It inspires me, Brigite :)
As to the song "Imagine". I was in His presence here on earth last week with 30,000 other believers at Hillsong and went from wanting to stand on a chair as I couldnt raise my hands high enough in worhsip to ,yes, actually doing that. (and I'm so spring chicken.) On another occassion standing in His presence with tears running down my face, to being "Facedown" in His presence. Oh ,yes and dancing!!! So I can only "Imagine" what I'll do in heaven :)
Love you, your crazy Aussie friend,
Gail
I am in awe that your post sounds so much like the one that I just posted! God is so amazing!
I just love how she could feel His presence in your office. That is so beautiful, Brigitte.
Hey there. Been praying for you. I had an impression of you holding something tightly in your hand, something you desired so strongly and did not want to release. God knows the desires of your heart, those deep longings, hope deferred, the pains, grief even - but he wants you to trust him with what you are holding, open your hand, lift them up in release and praise to him. I know it's painful, it's hard - oh but he could blow you out of the water with what he has for you! Hope that makes sense - I leave it for your testing.
Yes, for now, we can only imagine...but aren't you so grateful when we feel just a glimpse of what it truly will be like when we are fully in His presence.
I love these God-moments...you captured it so beautifully.

Hello lovely Brig, the blue rose of South Africa :-)
I saw this cool posting just now and thought you may be interested too - I passed it on for Bunnygirl too.
