Drawing Near

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God."  Psalm 42:1

As the life of the deer depends upon water, so our lives depend upon God.  In His care is such a peaceful place to live.  Just like a garden that has been cultivated, it doesn't grow fully until the water from rain supplies its thirst for the garden to grow.  As we go about our daily lives, we CAN live WITHOUT an awareness of God and His endless supply of wisdom and glory but when we stop and think about the wondrous blessings we receive when we walk with Him, it is a powerful moment!  This doesn't mean we have to always be walking around on a cloud but it's just a joy that comes out when you love the Lord! Get a few people together who has His love and look out!!! You might ask where does this illuminating quality come from........it comes from trusting God with the concerns and worries you might be tempted to carry along.  He is available to work in your heart and with a purpose that will be changing and productive.  That stream will cause your heart and soul to pour out love, kindness, patience, goodness and joy overflowing!!  Expect God's Spirit to give you clear guidance every day! He will care for you and keep you safe.  You can call to Him and He gives you strength.  He gives you rest because you depend upon Him and not on yourself.  Be comforted knowing He knows your cares and concerns and He loves you.  "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!"  James 4:8  Blessings to you today dear one!
