It often seems we can go through live without noticing his presence. The promise of his love and presence is with us though. I talked with my kids the other day about how God loves us and how important we are to him. We shared for quite a while. After walking on the road with Jesus for more then thirty years alot seems just to be natural. Like in other relationships we get used to each other. I guess in my walk it comes to that as well. But then there are the small surprises, chats and moments that makes me aware of God&#39;s presence and the special thing I have, a real gift in my life.<\/p>\n<div>We were away on the beach on holidays a week ago. There one day I had extreme pain in the lower back. I could not lie down without feeling the pain from my back all the way down to my knees.<\/div>\n<div>Lillian put her hand on my back and asked Jesus to heal me. A very simple prayer. Two sentences and the pain left. I was quite surprised and didn&#39;t expect this to be over so quickly. It reminded me once again how close God is to us. I often forget those moments as I move on. But in all those years there are many stories not only of healing but also of encounters with God, of his provision in so many ways. I don&#39;t want to forget all the good . To recall the stories helps me to remember that Jesus is with me all the time.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes we forget that God has a hand in our lives.
