Ahh, my favorite topic......the Lord, or Creator... the Divine.
Any comments..stories? ...Praise, awesome experiences....moments of sheer joy
feeling His Blessed Presence all around you?
Any 'seemingly' impossible prayers answered? Any dreams or moments of ecstasy?
Insights given? Divine Visitations? The 'Doors of Perception' opened?
I feel the Creator's presence around me every day,and every creature, whether it be 4 legged or winged,whether it be a tree or a blossom or any plans that grows on Mother Earth, whether it be the rain with the wind, my Creator is always around me and with me.

This would be the place to spill....
Yes. The day I trusted Christ as my savior, knowing that my sins wer forgiven. I did not hear a voice in my head, or any special insight, or receive any divine visitation. I just had a great peace. Finally.
I'm not sure if that's what you mean. I think we have different beliefs regarding who God is.
When my kids discover or understand something that they
didn't before, that spark in their eyes is a little piece of heaven.
!! Or when my puppy came to me in the night and wanted to be let out for the 1st x to pee..!
Talk about sparks!!! I had communicated to another species!!!!
Thank you all for your posts!
Oh, and ps...I don't care if anyone believes the Divine Presence is a Man in the Sky or Spirit or Blue and plays a flute with gopis all around...
whatever Name or idea is fine with me!
there is a difference between "knowing" God is always around, and "experiencing" the Divine Presence, which is what the OP is asking about
I can "know" my best friend is in the room next door for 50 years, but if I never visit with my best friend and enjoy the fun and joy and kindness and delight of my friend, i don't benefit from our loving relationship
i can "know" that love exists, but if i never feel loved or give love, my existence is sterile indeed. life is sweeter when we experience each other, visit together, no simply "know" intellectually that the other exists
