“In Sleep he sang to me/ In dreams he came/ That voice which calls to me/ And speaks my name”-  The Phantom of the Opera We have access to the presence and power of God because of death of Jesus and the tearing of the veil. We can begin to access this presence by opening His word and setting aside time to meet with Him. Hebrews 4:12 (ESV): “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” We must look for God at the beginning and end of each day and start seeing our lives through a new lens.

I just knew it as
