The Presence of the Father

When we were children we delighted to be in the presence of our father.  We could not wait for him to come home from work.  His presence was a powerful and joyful force in our lives.  

Unfortunately, the encounters were all too brief.  As a matter of our culture, our fathers were not around during most of our waking hours.  In the mind of the child, our fathers were away from home more than they were at home.

How wonderful it is that we are in the presence of Our Heavenly Father at all times.  How wonderful it is that we can have that powerful and joyful place available to us at our beckoning.  How wonderful it is to know that He will never be absent from us.
