Presence Not Personality

Reading through Acts has stirred something within me. I see the boldness of the followers of Jesus and realize that their boldness is not personality driven but PRESENCE DRIVEN! They are not just people with big personalities, people who are naturally bold. These are people who live in the presence of the Lord and with that presence they are confident strong, powerful. Spiritual presence is always the foundation for powerful people and powerful relationships. I keep praying for the Lord's presence to be big and real at GraceRiver. People of His Presence live in confidence and hope and their relationships are naturally powerful. We don't need big personalities to be strong, powerful we just need His Presence!
