The Presence of God: Future, Present, and even Past

Lord, you who are eternal. The eternal future, through Jesus the Christ, you have chosen me to share with you. Even the current, today this moment, you have chosen to make your presence real. You are always present as Teacher, Savior, Comforter, Shepherd, and Lord. How my soul thrills at you Hand now and forever.
How my soul yarns to comprehend eternal past. Now and always will be are so simple compared to always has been. No beginning, what a truth that make my thoughts ache. How wonderous and deep you are.
May I in my weak, sick, sinful condition be ever aware of your precious presence. How different, and pleasing to you I would be.
