Presence

Thankfulness is defined as being conscious of a benefit received. I am thankful for the many blessings that God has given me throughout my life, but am I thankful for the benefit of God’s consistent and gracious presence, the very fact that He is here -- with me -- now and always? That the God who is perfect love actually treasures hanging out with me, as imperfect as I am? Or is there something inside that constantly reminds me that that can't possibly be true, because I am such a mess? What is keeping me from experiencing a deep fulfilling life in the presence of God?

Watch the final message in the Give Thanks series entitled, "Presence" as Director of Student Ministry Blake Brinkman explains that God never turns His back on us, EVER. He never abandons us or revokes His calling on our lives. He is always with us.
