What do I want God to whisper in my ear tomorrow as a I press through my day? I want to hear Him say He is enough. That my expectations are not too high, except that I must turn my clenched-teeth grimace to Him - and that He is enough. He is more than enough. His forgiveness covers all my sins, His love fulfills all my cravings, His provision satisfies all my hunger. My husband isn't strong enough, my children not sweet or clever enough, my home not comforting enough - none of these - only my Lord is enough and I want to remember and be satisfied. And turn my grimacing into rejoicing.
Thanks for asking, Liz. You bless me.
Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.” ~Ernest Boyer, Jr. (Thanks, Ann)
