This post made me happy. The first time I remember feeling God's presence all by myself was in first grade. My mother told me to go play outside. For some reason, I felt compelled to stand under the dogwood tree in the front yard and make up a song to sing to Jesus. I went to church. I knew what He had done for all of us. It seemed like I should tell Him I loved Him. I don't remember the song, and I'm sure it was not musically excellent, but I do remember that for my first voluntary prayer, I felt something amazing. It was so precious that it created a desire for more. As an adult, I've come to feel indescribable joy when someone else finds the same thing. This post made me happy.
