Open for me the gates where the righteous enter,
and I will go in and thank the Lord.
These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer
and giving me victory! Psalm 118:19-21

There is a place in God that is the best and right place to be.; and that is in his presence.
It is a place that is only reserved for his people. But it is not exclusive to knowledge, years of maturity or service. It is open to all who would desire to come closer and walk through the gates that lead to his throne room.

God, the King of Kings is waiting to hear our concerns, delights, requests, adoration and worship. He is one who delights in relationship with his children, one who wants us to know our privileged position.
We are his family, his children- his prince and princess, not because of our works or personalities, but because of his amazing grace and love for his church.

Each day we can miss out on an audience with the King of Heaven, who is not judgmental and vindictive, One who will not treat us harshly or condemn us. One who will lord his power over us to belittle or intimidate us, or frustrate and devour us. But one who beckons us to draw near and ask questions from his treasury of infinite wisdom and lavish his gifts from the glorious unlimited resources of his unending kingdom.

Dear Brother and Sister, friend, seeker, don’t miss out on what God wants to offer you, knowing him is the greatest joy we can ever have, and desiring to go “DEEPER” into his courts is the greatest journey we will ever make.
Once we have come deeper to his presence, let us all live up to our responsibility of being a part of the family of God

“Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.”
