An infinite God seeks and desires intimacy with the human soul

A friend of mine, Nicole, shared these thoughts this week. They are profoundly important for each of us to absorb and live each day:

Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

Your worth does not depend on what you do.  You are loved by God and your life is important because you are His child, made in His image.  If you start your day with anxiety about all you have to do or what you’re going to be, remember this: He loves you not because of what you do, but because you are.  The details of your life are important, but do not define your worth. 

Be still and know that I Am God

Be still and know that I Am

Be still and know

Be still

Be

In the fulness of time

One of the greatest benefits of being away from home at Christmas, besides the time with family here in New Zealand, is the lack of pressure to get all the traditional Christmas tasks done--the cards and letters to read and respond to, the social gatherings to attend, the demands to be present for society's expectations instead of God's Presence. This is not to say that we don't have distractions here. Yet we are now freed from our "traditions" and are more able to wait patiently, to focus on what is Now, to see the "first rays of God's glorious coming."  And to enjoy an expanded feeling of "stillness."
