I love how one word from God is all I need and I love that everything He speaks is truth and His truth sets me free.  I love that Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Father God are always with me and so even if I'm not in "prayer mode", no matter what I could be doing, out of "nowhere" God could just be like: *poof* and tell me something.  A few times in these last few days I've begun to understand with new meaning: "He will quiet you with His love."  When He speaks, He speaks the truth in LOVE and I cannot make any excuses.  I cannot complain.  I cannot respond except to give Him praise.  

On a somewhat similar note, yesterday when I was on the train I saw a sign that said King.  And it made me think of the song "King Is Here" by Jesus Culture.  And then I thought: imagine if you could tell who was a Christian because you could literally see Jesus with them.  I chuckled at the thought of a million Jesus' walking around with His people.  LOL.  And then I thought: Ok Jesus.  You are with me.   You are with us.  So, what are you doing?  Are you praying?  Are you a hedge of protection around us?  Are you guiding the train so we stay safe?  Are you wrapping your arms around us (that was a beautiful thought).  My prayer is that you and I would always remember that Jesus is with us and that we would come to understand what that means.  As I write this I think of: "There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24) and also, if He's right there, we can call on Him and have Him handle it.  I wish that I could get to the point where when I'm in trouble I turn around and say "Hey, Jesus, would you handle this please?"  Some situations are harder than others.  And also we think that we have to wait for our prayer time to pray...no.  We can pray whenever and wherever!
