The Presence is Always With Us

The Presence—a universal, unifying energy—is within each of us. Yet many of us struggle to recognize when it reveals itself in our lives. We search high and low, assuming it only manifests during profound meditation or deep contemplation. Some people even dismiss the idea altogether, which is amusing when you consider this: the Presence is everywhere. 

The Energy That Sustains Life

In truth, nothing can exist without the Presence. It is the force that gives life to all things, the awareness that animates existence, the energy that sustains us, and the love that connects us. 

Recognizing the Presence in Everyday Moments

What’s surprising is how often Presence reveals itself in our daily lives—and how easily we overlook it. One of the simplest ways to notice it is to pay attention to expressions of love. Love is a clear sign of the Presence at work, and it shows up in countless small, often unremarkable moments. 

A Day Filled with Presence

Let me guide you through a typical day filled with these moments of Presence. 

Morning Refreshment

You wake up feeling rested and take a refreshing shower. That sensation of renewal? It’s the Presence gently guiding you to care for yourself. Your favorite body wash, the perfect water temperature, and the comforting ritual of breakfast—these small joys are acts of love woven into your day. 

Kindness on the Road

Later, as you drive to work, a kind driver stops to let you merge into traffic. That moment of consideration is the Presence expressing itself through a stranger’s kindness. 

Small Blessings at the Coffee Shop

You stop at a coffee shop and find a prime parking spot right by the entrance. Perhaps a coincidence, but also a reminder of the little ways the Universe supports us. 

Inside, the barista greets you warmly and prepares your favorite drink just the way you like it. You thank her, leave a tip, and leave with your coffee. In this brief exchange—her recognition, your gratitude, and the shared kindness—Presence has made itself known. 

Presence in Simple Acts of Love

Throughout the day, Presence continues to reveal itself: 

– A heartfelt hug with someone you haven’t seen in a while. 

– A compliment that brightens someone’s day—or one that you receive with gratitude. 

– Smiles exchanged, acts of encouragement, and tasks completed with mindful care. 

These small moments are all reflections of love, and where there is love, there is Presence. 

The Universe Is Looking Out for You

When you train yourself to notice these expressions of love, you’ll begin to see Presence everywhere: in gestures of kindness, shared laughter, thoughtful words, and the million little ways life supports you. 

As you become more aware of this, a sense of calm, confidence, and security arises—a profound knowing that the Universe is always looking out for you.
