“How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting the basic need of rest”, an indirect quote from the Jesus Calling devotional by Sarah Young, page 311.
I know The Lord. I have The Lord.
He provides for me tenderly, and I am sooo satisfied.
He welcomes me to feel the earth between my toes, in my hair, to rest my back on green grasses, to look up at the sky in comfort,
He quenches my thirst with water that has journeyed from mountaintops, and serenades me through babbling brooks, talkative streams, roaring waterfalls
He invites all of me; my strengths and weaknesses, my attributes and my imperfections, my dedication and my inconsistencies, to sit with Him and rest,
I know He’ll re-anchor me, gently, patiently. He holds my hand. He holds me around the waste. He steals glances at me. He is with me, helping me, guiding me, and He’ll never leave.
He loves me growing into love with Him. He loves when I say His name.
Psalm 23:1-3 in my own words.
I did this not to add and or change the Word of God, but to help commit it memory, and to personalize how I heard God this morning. Like a person who is studying a concept in their textbook would explain the concept in their own words, this is like that.
