I thank the lord for this rare gift. And repenting for the many times I pass it up to do other things that seem so pressing at the time.
Prayer used to be low on my priority list. We can decieve ourselves into thinking doing is the greater work. But I have learned that you cannot do for Him - without being with Him.
Sure you can try- run until you're ragged. And then hit your knees. Or just cry out when you're in need. Not really a way to get to know someone's heart- just running to them with grabbing hands.
Just being with Him- learning the rhythms of His mercy and grace. Adjusting our attitude to His.
This is when He whispers our new name. Makes us confident in Him. Gives us beauty for our ashes. Takes our shame away. It's such sweet times.
So many get imbalanced in this- He never intended us to selfishly wallow in His presence - but to soak it in and spread it around. May we never be full and satisfied just keeping it inside.
Lets leak what we believe.
Don't have it perfected. But grateful for the journey ❤️
