Jesus just asks me to come and sit, but I am so addicted to distraction and activity! Sometimes it's feels impossible to stop. Maybe you've felt this way. If you have, I hope you will be comforted by this little verse tucked away in John 11, "Jesus loved Martha, and her sister...." Yes. For all her orderliness, checklists, and preparations, Martha was a MESS, BUT Jesus Christ loved her. That is the God we serve. Come to Him today. Find mercy and enjoy His presence.
Entry for February 9, 2015:
I just can't do it again. I won't.
I'm not going to just lie back in the river of business and drift, hoping to meet You along the bank somewhere.
No, Before I set foot in my little boat, I will sit on the shores of Your truth and be warmed by the rays of Your love.
I will choose quiet over productivity. I will choose stillness over my checklist. I will chose You over me as I should've done so many mornings before. You deserve my all. You are good, holy, loving and true and I need You. I want to know You more and walk in Your ways!
Renew my mind as I STOP to SIT in STILLNESS at Your feet. Be merciful to me, O God.
I would see Jesus.
Thank You for Your open arms.
