It's A Heart Thing

Today is another wonderful day that the Lord has made—make it your best day! Our Father is so in love with you—he is intentional about making it known to you. When I pay close attention, he sends me little love messages through everything I do and experience. He woke me up today without the use of the alarm clock. The fresh air and clear sky greet me as I rise. The birds are chirping as a sign of the new day. I get dressed for my morning walk and notice the beauty of the sun shining through the clouds. The temperature is perfect (69 degrees) and not too humid. There is a slight lovely breeze in the air. I planned to walk with a friend, but she cannot come today. The Lord wants to spend quiet time with me alone.

Sometimes we fill our day to the brim not allowing quiet time with the Lord. As I was walking, others who were exercising would nod their heads or speak as they passed by—I passed joggers, other walkers, pets and even a father with his newborn. What a wonderful sight to witness. A brother jogged past me and a beautiful scent lingered in the air. All the trees, grass and plants are green, and spring flowers are in full bloom. I am amazed at the beauty of God’s creation. I was also surprised to see another dear friend in the park.
 
All these lovely sights were my reminders of God’s love and care for humanity. All the things that I love and enjoy were present in my environment as I walked and listened to the Word and God’s promises for my life (on the Bible app and my playlist). God inhabits your praises and the intimate details of your life when you invite him to join you. He is always available to share time with you. He is a wonderful walking buddy and friend.
​
The ability to be quiet and meditate is a gift from above. So, remember to slow down and speak to the Father through your heart and mind daily. He will in return speak to your heart and provide the wisdom and guidance you need for the day. Oh, what a faithful friend we have in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

1Peter 5:7 Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. AMP

Yours In Christ,
