Day 309 A Word from God

It seems like every day God reveals something new and profound to me.  Usually it's something so obvious that I am almost ashamed that it needs to be shown but I guess that's just another example of the frailty of the flesh.

Yesterday was an awesome day.  Church was wonderful.  Pastor RO asked me to give my testimony and, of course, I cried through it.  I doubt anyone understood what I said and I certainly didn't say what I wanted to say other than giving God all the praise, honor and glory for my healing.  So much more to say but maybe later. 

I came home and turned on Christian TV and watched Sandra Kennedy and Joel Osteen and Tom Leding and finished up with Rick Warren on Oprah's LifeClass speaking on his book, A Purpose Driven Life.  What I took from it mostly was that since God created us, we have to look to Him for our purpose and not to ourselves.   Lots to think about from that show.  I've never read his book but this may be the time for me.

This morning I again delved into the Bible and some inspirational readings.  I had my prayer time praying for others and for me.  Then just a little while ago, I had the most profound revelation that I think I've ever had.  God spoke to me in my mind and it was this:

"Slow down and take time just to love me."

Wow.  I'm covered with God bumps just thinking about it.  I read, I write, I pray and I love God but I don't ever just seem to take the time to shut it all down and just feel his loving presence, to return that love to Him so that He knows how much I truly love Him and how grateful I am for all He does for me every day. 

However as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no mind has conceived", the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.                     
                                                                                                                             1 Corinthians 2:9

Father God, Jehovah Rapha,
Please forgive me of being so consumed with study, learning, prayer asking blessings for others and for myself that I forget to just take time to do nothing other than to love You.
Help me to be ever mindful of how much You love me and the sacrifice You have made to prove to me how much You love me.  I am so grateful to be Your precious child and I thank You, Father, for being my precious Lord and Savior. 
I love You Lord.  I love You.  It is all about You, Lord. 
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, the one true Messiah.
Amen
