True Presence

John 6:45,47
“Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.”

Listening to God will take some effort and letting go. It’ll mean devoting some time to simply being present. Most of the time…we aren’t. Our brains are constantly at work either mulling over things that have already happened to us or worrying about things in the future. Past and future are not real…they exist only in our minds. The only time that is real is now. Spend ten to twenty minutes in silence to be present to the Great Presence…the Loving Source of all things. Listen with the ears of your heart. Read the words of Jesus and follow His example. Notice Jesus says “whoever believes has eternal life”…”has“…not “will have.” When you are living in the presence of God…eternal life is at hand. It is only through this Presence that your true self can emerge.
