In the presence of a genius

There’s something hugely inspiring to be in the presence of a genius.  This is seldom possible in real time and real life.  I’m thinking of standing in front of a Rembrandt masterpiece, or a bridge spanning a gorge, or listening to Tjaikovsky 1812 overture – etc. etc.
Gordon and I were talking about this in the car and then marvelled at the invitation by the God of the universe into His presence in prayer.  Now THAT’s what it means to be in the presence of a Genius.
And if this Genius is yours and you are His – you are the apple of His eye!
Let’s run into His presence in Jesus’ Name!

Rembrandt – The return of the prodigal son.
