He's Talking To Me

From God this morning, over our breakfast together. More on that later. But before bed, or to start your day, here's what encouraged my heart about my increasing relationship with Him, not so much my asking Him what the rules are so I can "get it right" anymore.

Hebrews 8:18, 19 (emph. mine)
The former way of doing things, a system of commandments that never worked out the way it was supposed to, was set aside; the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way—Jesus!—a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.
And, yeah, I'll post more later, but people are going to start thinking I am looney. God is talking to me. It's subtle and sweet and tender and reassuring and confident and stunningly loving and right. It's making me think of Elijah's gentle whisper from God. It may well be a season, but I am loving it. Thank you, Father, thank you.

Oh, what a WONDERFUL promise! Right into the presence of God. That's where I want to dwell, hang out, chill, rest... you get the picture. And isn't it wonderful that we don't have to DO anything but believe and trust? God is so good!

Blessings as you visit with your beloved Best Friend,
