Experiencing God’s Gentle Presence

I don’t even know how to describe it, except maybe like this.

Two brushstrokes on a canvas. One is me, earthy, messy, full of texture and questions. The other is Heaven, eternal, pure, steady. And right where they touch…

the tiniest speck of gold.

That’s what it feels like when His presence meets you. It’s not loud. It’s not something you can plan or force.

It’s holy. It’s gentle. It’s clear.

A moment where surrender doesn’t feel like a risk. It feels safe. Your breath slows. Your heart knows. And for just a second, your faith becomes something you can feel. Not because God finally showed up. He’s always been here. But because you became aware.

And that tiny fleck of gold, it marks you.

It stays with you. You carry it into the noise and the waiting, into the next time you wonder if He’s near. Because you remember what it felt like when Heaven touched your earth. And nothing has been the same since.

“You make known to me the path of life
you will fill me with joy in your presence
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Psalm 16:11

When Heaven meets earth, everything shifts.
He shows me the path I couldn’t find on my own.
He fills me, not with a temporary feeling, but with joy rooted in His presence.
And in that holy moment, I taste something eternal
A pleasure this world can’t give and time can’t take away.

So slow down today.
Let your heart grow quiet enough to notice.
Not to chase a feeling, but to make space for awareness.

Ask Him to meet you in the middle of your mess, your questions, your everything.
And if He brushes close, if you sense even the faintest fleck of gold, linger there. Let it mark you.

Because those moments may be small,
but they echo eternity.

A Worship Moment

Let this song wash over you:

Lord, “May I never lose the wonder of Your presence
May I always stand in awe of who You are
Oh, the beauty and the gift of Your friendship
Is unlike anything I’ve ever known”…

About Me

I’m Jessica Lee, and my heartbeat is helping women see their lives through the lens of grace. I write and teach from the middle of my own process, inviting women into a slower, steadier way of walking with God. I share from the middle of the mess, not the other side of it, hoping what God is teaching me in real time helps you feel a little less alone on your journey too.
