The Right Now Journey



Life is a journey. We travel down the road that God sets before us. As we follow the path we face daily choices. Many are mundane. The most important choice we make is our decision to rejoice in Jesus in every moment. “One of those days” I penned the following:

Right now is the moment to enjoy life and enjoy God. This minute I can celebrate the wonder of the God who knows me, loves me and accepts me.

The right now is filled with His presence. This very minute overflows with His blessing. In faith I can reach up to Him with both hands and grasp hands-full of His life.

All along God seeks to pour His joyous life into mine. Yet, He can’t fill a life that is full of other stuff. God in His love has worked emptying my life, my hands of all I was hanging onto. Gently, caringly, and compassionately He has slowly pried my fingers loose. I have felt the pain of the loss as my stuff fell into God’s hands.

Now, in this minute, God speaks, “My child, lift your hands, lift your heart and lift your life up to me and I will fill them.” I can discover the freedom of an empty heart that is filling up with His blessings.

I experience the peace of His presence, the joy of Jesus, the hope of Heaven, the grace of God, the wealth of my weaknesses, the strength of my Savior, the blessings of belief and the love of His life in me—

Right now, in this very moment.
