Do you ever have times in life where you are just tired?
Tired of talking.
Tired of always being on.
Tired of people pleasing.
Tired of moving around all the time.
Tired of honesty.
Tired of feeling homesick.
Tired of worrying about the future.
You get the idea. Life is tiring.
This is a realization that I came to last night. We were having a team time last night where it was a time to worship and let the Holy Spirit move.
Oh, did He move.
I felt this tug to walk away from group and simply lay down. I looked up to see one of my favorite views in this world. A starry night sky. However, there were quite a few clouds in front of the stars! I started to tear up as I realized more and more through my prayer that I was so tired and all I wanted was to see some stars.
I asked my Heavenly Father,
“Can I please see some stars? Wait, that is demanding and too much to ask… now I put you in a box Dad. Sorry about that.”
I started fumbling over my words but then I became speechless.
Right in front of my eyes, the sky started to clear up… God was literally clearing the night sky for me. Before I knew it, there was a circle above me filled with stars.
The tears started to flow down my cheeks and I began overthinking. God spoke to me saying, “Stop thinking, just be with me. Hold my hand and just breathe. Look up. This is a gift to you. I love you and want you to find rest in me alone daughter.”
I reached my hand out as I looked up at the stars and held my Father’s hand. I cried and let Him love me in a way no one else can.
Are you tired?
Do you just want to throw your hands up and scream?
Life can become hectic and we can fall into a routine that doesn’t give a chance to experience our Heavenly Father.
I encourage each of you to take time today to just BE with the Lord. He simply just wants to spend time with us. Explore what that can look like for you. Go outside. Find a quiet place. Blast music. Drive with the windows open. This can look different for each of us. He can and will love you in a way that will truly fill you. Give Him a chance to show you how much He loves you.
I promise you that He does.
