Ruth writes: “In my quiet time, the Lord inspires me with thoughts of revelation and encouragement. I cherish these words, so record them in my journal. Some have been read to friends, who urged me to share more. The Lord impressed me that these thoughts were His and not just for me alone. For this reason, I have agreed to share some of my precious moments of inspiration in the Lord’s Presence. I pray they will be an encouragement to you, and you also will be inspired to listen for His thoughts in your quiet time.” ~Ruth Doggette

My Presence

For those without My Presence, the world hasbecome a hostile environment in which to dwell. I am “Goodness Personified”! Apart from Menothing is essentially good. As people eliminate Me from their lives – nothing remains but a hollowcounterfeit! I am the reality of everything needed for completefulfillment. I am Righteous and every opposingconcept is not conducive to abundant living! those who cleave to Me are enveloped with My perfectpeace – outside of Me, this cannot be found! The true Joy of Living is completely missing where My Presence is absent, and I am the only Source of Real Love – anything less than Me is just a cheapimitation! My Presence is more valuable than fame or fortune – these are extremely poor substitutes for My Presence! (Prayer) Lord, May we realize Psalm 19:10 is true:what You are offering us is “More to be desired…than gold, Yea, than much fine gold;Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.” Matthew 13:45-46“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantseeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had foundone pearl of great price, went and sold all he hadand bought it.” (Ruth Doggette)
