Isn't It a Relief

From the intro to Brother Lawrence's Practicing God's Presence:

Isn't it a relief

to discover we can talk to Our Father directly,

to discover that our thirsty hearts must no longer search; that what, so deep inside, seemed unquenchable, can be filled to overflowing and with grace abounding,

to know that God is not some future goal or past memory but a "right this second" presence,

to know that our simplicity and humility pleases God,

to know God is personal, real, abiding, and everlasting,

to know that God has a soft spot for great sinners and late bloomers,

to discover God never gives us more than He can handle,

to know nothing can prevent our conversing with God,

to know that, even if we quit Him, He never quits us,

to know that God never stops, never goes off duty, out to lunch, or out of business,

to know the only one we have to please is God,

to know He owns everything and all we need be is good stewards,

Isn't it a relief to hear His words, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
