The Father's Presence is sweet Reference Page

How sweet it is to be in the Father's Presence.
Reference: 1 Thessalonians 3:13 so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

To feel His Love shining upon my spirit is like basking in the sun on a warm tropical beach.
Reference: Isaiah 59:19 So they will fear the name of the LORD from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun, For He will come like a rushing stream Which the wind of the LORD drives.

It feels wonderful.
Reference: Psalm 139:14 I will give thanks to You, for [a]I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.

It makes me glow with a warmth inside my heart.
Reference: 1 Peter 3:15 but [a]sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

It's then, when I realize, I am in love with God.
Reference: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

His Love fills me to overflowing.
Reference: Ephesians 3:19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

It makes me feel totally calm and at peace with God, with men, and with the whole world.
Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When I look upon the Father's Countenance, I am filled with a longing and yearning, not much different from the feeling of love sickness.
Reference: Isaiah 30:18 Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
