Love. Laughter… Peace, and kindness…
Joy. Hope… Gratitude and thanksgiving…
These are a few of my favorite things.
In the midst of a storm perspective is everything.
Learning to find joy when we want to hide, is a season of trust…
God has not left you…Maybe God is showing Himself in the little things we take for granted.
The morning sunrise… The smell of fresh coffee. A child’s laughter… The air that we breathe, a warm shower… A sweet song of worship.. The floor beneath our knees, when we bend to pray… The home that surrounds us with warmth and comfort…The pages of our Bible’s that are warn and soft… The love of God’s comfort that surrounds our hearts…
Leaning to find joy in the simplest of ways is always God’s hand…
Learning to depend on Him, when we want to run, is the quickest way to see His goodness…
And maybe… just maybe that is the purpose in the swirling storm…
To find our calm in the middle of the noise… to sit on bended knee, and rejoice in His will…
To live in the very moment of who He is, and the greatness of His hand…
“Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world…”
James 4:8
How powerful is that?
To stop striving… and planing…and rushing, and pushing…
To stop. To live. To learn to love….
He wants your attention…
He wants your heart.
If even for a moment… Let it go, and Let Him in…
“The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid.
The Lord protects me from danger, so why should I tremble…….
The one thing I ask of the Lord – the thing I seek most – is to live in the house of the
Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in His
Temple.
For He will conceal me there when troubles come; He will hide me in His sanctuary.
He will place me out of reach on a high rock….”
Psalm 27 (paraphrased… Read the whole psalm in your Bible :)
Letting His word penetrate your whole heart… will change your whole life.
He will show you love and laughter…
Hope and change.
“The Lord is God shining upon us….You are my God, and I will praise you;
You are my God, and I will exalt you…”
Psalm 118:28
His word is the only way to find peace in the midst of the storm.
He will not let you run… He will not let you hide…
Sit in His great presence…
And let love live…
In Jesus Name,
I praise You Heavenly Father,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa
