Like it or not, we’re always in the presence of God. That means, no matter how much we screw up, it is never so much that we lose our salvation or cast off the Holy Spirit. Despite this fact, it can sometimes seem like we’ve lost a sense of his presence. That’s why it’s important to remember the divine encounters we are blessed with during our lifetimes.
