John 1:38

They said....'Teacher, where are you staying?' John 1:38

This is my heart. I want to be where You are, Lord.

One of the pastors I used to listen to would say...'God is in everything. If you're paying attention, you can even find Him in a McDonald's commercial.' Love that!

Let's do that today. Let's be fully present no matter where we are or who we are talking to, to say....

'Lord, where are You in this conversation, place, situation? I want to represent You properly. Teach me. Show me.'
