You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.

THE JOY OF GOD’S PRESENCE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Once you have accepted Jesus in your life
You will notice the radiance of his glorious light
He fills you with the joy of his presence
He shows you the path to his righteousness.
He will cover all darkness that permeates you
He will transform your mind and make you new
The joy of God’s presence is vital to your growth
Without it, your life will be deprived of peace and joy.

How do you know if someone is a true believer of Jesus Christ? One of the most remarkable signs of an authentic Christian is the joy that is radiated in his own person. This joy isn’t something someone can fabricate. It is a result of the presence of God in that person’s life. I remember when I heeded the Holy Spirit’s call in my life in my late twenties, it didn’t stop me from experiencing many trials and hardships. In fact, so much adversities poured in my life. What is amazing about God’s presence is that he will never allow you to be defeated by any attacks of the enemy. He equipped me with everything I needed to go through all of it. He showed me the way of life and filled me with his Spirit.
