dailydatewithgod

As I walk through this experience of facing the world as it is I am constantly surprised by how palpable God’s presence is.  When I was willing to step outside my knowns of God and get connected the deepest part of myself my whole world opened up.  Palpability of God is not a constant experience but it is a consistent one. On our daily dates with God, I have learned to let go of my ideas of how and what God is supposed to be and find God in all the wrong places.  The palpability is not always a literal touchable experience although I have had those.  The unexpected palpable experiences of God are the ones I sense internally.  It sounds all woo-woo and bizarre but it is as real as a handshake.  It is the moments when my heart skips a beat.  It is the time I find myself smiling unexpectedly because I am touched emotionally by something or someone.  It is the rush of gratitude when provided a new perspective on how to see a troubling situation.  The palpability of God is only limited by my willingness to experience God as touchable.  My prayer becomes, God how are you touching me in this moment?  God, how are you making your palpable presence known in my life right now?
