The Presence of God

Inspired by Brother Lorenz who was a Master in the devotion to God and doing everything for God, I got immersed with the idea to practice the presence of God. There is just nothing like having my attention on my true source, to the only thing that will ever make me happy. The really incredible thing for me is that I have learned when I am done praying. I have a very German mind and always try to devote an exact time to prayer and devotion, but then I realized one day after just a few minutes of praying that it was done. Wow, what a revelation, praying and being with God has absolutely nothing to do with time. It’s just a state of mind that I remember and then I am happy and free to go and do whatever I am doing. That is so freeing. So incredible freeing, that I have no words. Just the freedom that the one thing has nothing to do with the other. God is in my mind and yes I do have to remember him, but time has nothing to do with it. It’s a mind training. And then I have no choice anymore but be in the presence of God because it has become part of me and a habit of my mind.

And then everything I do I do for God. I read a book once, of a little ballerina, that hurt both of her legs in an accident and consequently could not dance anymore. But through her love for God she started walking and was soon again able to dance again, and in her mind the only thing that kept being true is: I am dancing alone for you God. I love that that my true devotion to something allows the biggest miracles to happen. The power is in my mind. And in my application of it.

God into your presence will I enter now and dissapear for eternity. See you on the other side.
