Me:\u00a0 Where are you going Prodigal?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I just gonna go over this fence right quick.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 If you break your leg, don’t come hobblin’ to me.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 You always think the worse.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Just let me know how it goes….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.\u00a0 The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us.\u00a0 This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our hearts to be enlarged.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Lord and our God who has the world and universe working perfectly at this moment but would still show up in our spirit if we decided to praise Him right now!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mark 13:35-37<\/p>\n

You, too, must keep watch!\u00a0 For you don’t know when the master of the household will return in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak.\u00a0 Don’t let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning.\u00a0 I say to you what I say to everyone:\u00a0 Watch for him!”<\/p>\n
