The White Fog

Last Sunday when singing "Until I See You," we moved into an intense free worship session. The whole sanctuary was filled with chimes of different tones, voices and words, but were all united to praise God. It was during that moment when the Lord suddenly gave me a vision.

The room we were in was filled with a thick white smoke. Its color was so pure as the snow as it formed a blanket around the sanctuary. Its presence itself was so majestic and a delightful view to behold. Its appearance was so humongous, and yet it felt so soft as cotton. It was simply wonderful. It was God’s tangible presence among us.

There were people who walked straight into the fog. Once they were in, they disappeared. These people love to dwell in God’s presence – once they’re in it, they become so lost. All I could see was the white fog. This represented how when looking at these people, it was so clear to see God’s presence alive in them. When they walk into the fog, it is no longer they, but it is God that we see.

Then there were another group of people. When they saw the majestic fog approaching, they stopped. They hesitated. Should I walk in or not? Fear arose upon the encounter of a strange presence they have never felt or seen before. However, that presence is harmless. That presence is a sweet safe haven we should not be afraid of.  It is our heavenly Father.

To these people, God is inviting you to come into His presence. “Come dwell in me, and I will give you the richest things even the world can’t imagine,” He says. “You will experience something like never before. Do not be afraid… Come to me and I will give you peace…

God longs for us to be in His presence. Will you open up your heart and accept His invitation?
