Immanuel means “God with us.”
I hear You …. or do I? I see You …. or do I? I know You …. or do I? I feel You …. or do I? I love You …. or do I? How I do any of these essential relational connections is determined by several factors; How relationally mature am I? … a child? … an adult? Traumas that I have or am experiencing that will cause blocks for me; I know several who say they never hear God …..
Whatever the case, we all will connect relationally from our unique perspective. Since we are meditating, let’s start with how I connect with God when I stop the swirl of the day and calm myself. As I think of what comes to mind that I am thankful for, it will generally be along the same theme or line of thought that lines up with my relational maturity level.
If I am a relational child, I will see God’s hand in some form …. He gave me this today. The more mature I am the more I will experience His presence. ….. I hear You, I feel You, I know more of You, in awe I gladly love You, I am glimpsing Your face …..
