Living in God's Presence
by F.B. Meyer
IN A true and deep sense, all who believe have already entered upon the Eternal State. They have stepped across the frontier line into that glorious state of being, in which the changes of this mortal existence cannot effect the permanence of their life or blessedness. “He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life.”
And it is important for us to remember, that our position does not depend on our experience of it, or on our emotions. These, alas, fluctuate perpetually, now waxing to the full, and again waning to a crescent streak. But we are independent of them on two conditions, which are fundamental to all rest and peace.
In the first place, we must learn to live in our will; and in the second place, we must accustom ourselves to realize—not what we are to God, but—what God is to us, unchangeably, constantly, and in the fulness of a present blessing, which was never less than now in the past, and can never be less in the future. “HE ABIDETH FAITHFUL.” Thus we shall find a quiet habitation in the Present Tenses of God’s dealing with us
