lately. I'm very glad to be
back into a more normal
routine, but I'm not liking the
routine, complaining, not
seeing purpose or direction,
not sensing Your presence
though I know You are here.
Now that I think about it,
maybe that is like me--me
without You. How did I get so
far so fast?
and contentment that are your heritage in Me. Anxiety and fear about the future
accomplish nothing and are evidence that your heart is drawn away from Me.
Whatever your future holds, I am already there. A grumbling heart has forgotten
gratitude for all that I have done and given. What place should greed and jealousy
have in the heart of one whom I call My own, and I promise to never forsake?
Repent of your self-focus and turn your eyes to Me. Remember that you have
not earned or deserved anything by your own merit. It is My love for you that has
lifted your head. It is My sacrifice that has made life, real life, possible for you. The
true hunger and thirst of your heart is for Me, just Me. I am right here: I have
never been anywhere else.
Stop looking to a different scenario for fulfillment. That restlessness is meant
to drive you to Me right in the life you face every day. Because you belong to Me,
everything you do is "My" work. Nothing given into My hands and done with My
presence is ordinary. The great need is not to launch "out of a comfort zone" into
some spiritual activity, but to wear the yoke I have custom-fit for you and I to wear
together. In wearing that yoke with Me, you will find rest for your soul, and your life
will be full of godliness and rich in contentment.
Your heritage of contentment and peace will speak volumes to those around
you; for these are the treasures they lack and are searching for. Point them to Me
and tell of My faithfulness and tender mercy. I will be faithful to do the rest.
