Written by Kate Smith, a contemporary church planter and revivalist.
The first time I encountered God, I actually didn’t know what had hit me. It just felt like there was this tangible love that came with a weightiness. It was just so silky smooth… My heart felt so much peace, I just wanted to rest… I didn’t want to move, just stay in it, to rest, to let this love that felt almost liquid come into my soul in every part. It was like a realization that God was doing something deep within my heart… I was giving Him permission, just saying, ‘God, whatever you have for me, I’m here, just come. I’m so not used to this, but I love it, so would you just keep coming and filling me with that liquid love and presence.’
I will abide in your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of your wings. [Psalm 61:4]
