The best possible place I could ever spend my time would be in the presence of Jesus. The harder I think of it the more I am convinced that there is no other place I truly want to be then at the feet of Jesus.
The rewarding factors of being in God's presence are endless. In His presence is fullness of joy. I experience His ongoing peace. All worry and anxiety is totally gone. Being with Jesus there is great confidence that He is taking complete care of my life. I am covered from head to toe with His protective shield I have eternal delight in Him. Abiding in Christ totally diminishes all fear.
The list goes on and on with spending time with my Lord in whom I am eternally grateful. Every day I have something to look forward to because with Jesus life is so exciting.
I can boldly and confidently share the scripture with deep conviction that says...
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere,
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked."
Psalm 84:10 NIV
One day with Christ is far better that a thousand elsewhere!
In His Radical Love,

I love the song "Better Is One Day" but didn't realize it was sung by so many different contemporary groups until I tried to look it up just now! Here is one video, with Chris Tomlin singing:
