"You meet God in the secret place."
You know a nearness to God that's hard to put into words. Alone, unhurried, attentive — you carry a depth of presence that others feel the moment they're near you.
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10
Portrait
There's a room inside you where God is, and you go there — daily if you can, hungrily if you've been kept away. You've felt a nearness you've stopped trying to explain, because words bend under the weight of it. Others talk about the secret place. You live from it.
And people can tell. They sense a stillness on you that doesn't match your circumstances, and they sit closer to it without knowing why. You don't perform devotion; you keep company with God. Everyone near you feels the difference, even the ones who could never name it.
You're the one who…
- loses track of time in prayer
- feels the shift in a room before anyone names it
- would trade the whole conference for one unhurried hour with God
