It's Friday, and though I haven't been consistent, I write on Fridays. This morning, I planned on writing but I didn't know what to write. Perhaps I didn't feel like tackling the topic that first came to mind, perhaps the dust and clutter of a busy week was too distracting, it's hard to say but I have struggled to just sit and begin putting thoughts into words. I put on my favorite worship playlist and started tidying my living room. Soon I was singing along...
Can I tell you that I love my Lord?! He is so good to me! I didn't have one of those quiet times this morning where He shared something earth-shattering. The sunrise wasn't brilliant with color. It's an ordinary day but how extraordinary that He cares for me!
I can't imagine a day without Him. How awesome is that! I don't always walk in obedience. In fact, some days I turn aside from the things that He has called me to and yet He never turns aside from me. That's a True Friend! That's a Lord worth loving! How gracious He is to me and I love Him!
Some days loving the Lord is like the excitement of new found romance! Others like the wonder and awe of a love that has lasted through the tests and turmoil of life only to emerge stronger. Today, it is comfortable. Like two old lovers, sitting silently side by side... just comfortable companionship.
Lord, thank You for loving me. Thank You for being beside me every day. Thank You for the days when our conversations ignite such revelation of Truth that I can hardly keep up! Thank You for times when Your Presence is so tangible that I'm at a loss to describe the wonder! And thank You for the peace and contentment that comes from living life, the moment by moment ordinary stuff, with You! Living life in the Presence of the Almighty God... how amazing! I love You, Lord! May I love You well today...
