Presence and Power
by Rev. Gil William Olmstead, Spiritual Director
“I live in the faith that there is a Presence and Power greater than I am that nurtures and supports me in ways I could not even imagine. I know that this Presence is All knowing and All Power and is Always right where I am” ― Ernest Holmes
The all knowing power of the Universe is everywhere present. It is the Life that we live. We are that Life!
I know that beyond all that we “see” is Life unfolding in magnificent and beautiful ways. Our understanding does not limit this fact. We live in the mystery of knowing It’s presence without knowing It’s process. We know that our lives are the outpicturing of this presence and we trust that the process of this life is perfect as it is the presence of Spirit.
As life changes and moves around us we trust that all is well because Spirit is not only in the midst of it, but is, in fact, It. All is in perfect order – birth, death, health, eternal life, joy, Love and peace. No matter what our perspective, the Presence cannot be denied. We are living that presence right here and now!
I gratefully accept and know this truth and allow it to flow through my mind, heart and body ultimately releasing my attempts to hold on to it or control it trusting in the Presence and Power of Spirit!
And so It is!
