Love of God can mean either love for God or love by God. Love for God (philotheia) is associated with the concepts of worship, and devotions towards God. To know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. (Ephesians 3:19)

Let all those rejoice who put their trust in You: The righteous aren't made righteous by their words. The righteous are those who trust the LORD and love His name. But their righteousness is evident in their words. But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,

Let them ever sing for joy;

Because You cover and shelter them,

Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.

For You, O LORD, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];

You surround him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12) Psalm 16 centers on entrusting one’s self to God’s care and walking closely with Him. The ultimate blessings, peace, and satisfaction that come from living under the authority of God. These pleasures are not just for a moment, a season, or a lifespan, but rather, they are "forevermore".

You have shown me the path to life, by being near to me thou wilt fill me with joy of thy countenance. Sitting at your right side, I will always be joyful, complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever. (Psalm 16:11) But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;

I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

I will thank You forever, because You have done it, [You have rescued me and kept me safe].

I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones. (Psalm 52:8-9)

But I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God - I shall be in the house of God, full of spiritual vigor, bringing forth evergreen leaves and annual fruit, as the olive does when planted in a proper soil.

I trust in the mercy of God - The wicked man trusts in his riches: I trust in my God. He, like a bad tree, bringing forth poisonous fruit, shall be cursed, and pulled up from the roots; I, like a healthy olive in a good soil, shall, under the influence of God's mercy, bring forth fruit to his glory. As the olive is ever green, so shall I flourish in the mercy of God for ever and ever. By placing our trust in the mercy of God, we become like healthy, fruit-producing trees, or “a green olive tree.” we become useful to God in His kingdom as we lead others to Him.

You can live the abundant life that Jesus promised, flourishing, growing and moving forward in and with God. Life does not have to be dead, but full of life. God is our source of life and He gives us life.

All human beings have life because of God. God created us because He loves us and wants a relationship with us. In God, we live, move, and have our being.

Certainly, we live, move, and exist because of him. ( Acts 17:28)

Everything in all creation is upheld by God's mighty hand, including our very existence. We would not be able to live and move and have our being apart from God. It is through Him that we live and function and have our identity. Living in His presence so you can live in the present. Jesus models this very way of being present.

God is omnipotent, meaning all-powerful; omniscient, meaning all-knowing; and omnipresent, meaning present everywhere at all times.

We stay and abide in the presence of God by simply being aware of Him throughout our daily lives. There are many ways to do this; prayer, worship and reading the word. The humble and contrite are those who can abide with God—vicariously.

When we dwell with God, we are conscious of his presence in our lives. This consciousness can be a feeling of closeness or contentment with God, an awareness of God's greatness, power, wisdom or love. In the Presence Of God

There is hope in the presence of God. (Jeremiah 29:11)

There is love in the presence of God. (Ephesians 3:19)

There is joy in the presence of God.( Psalm 16:11)

There is peace in the presence of God. (Philippians 4:6-7)

There is protection in the presence of God. ( Psalm 91:1)
