God's Presence Matters

I've been thinking about being present and what that means. Really connecting and focusing on people. People matter. Relationships matter.

I've been thinking about what it means to be here now. Letting go of regrets, releasing fears, silencing distractions, being still, really knowing God, and dwelling in Him. Our relationship with God matters. God's presence in our lives matters.

In comparison, does anything else really matter? What matters besides God's presence? Without Him, nothing matters. If we are connected to Him, we can do all things. Without Him, we can do nothing.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
I love how Francis shared it at Catalyst Atlanta this year:
