| Calmness
Thank you for the calmness of the morning. The trees gently flow in the breeze. You can barely see the ripples on the lake. The butterflies flutter all around displaying beautiful yellows, oranges and blacks upon the air. A hummingbird buzzes by one’s ear to see if you will move fast enough for him to be your prey. The heron waits patiently to attack. He sits for hours waiting and waiting.
How long will you sit before God communing with Him as friend to friend? Do you sit ten minutes or only two? Why will man not sit before God? Why won't man seek His knowledge? When you sit your prayers are filled with wants and needs. Do you not understand that The Lord already knows what you need? He wants your prayer time to be so much more.
If you would be still before God, you would hear His whispered words of joy and love. He would lift you up even though you are down. God will calm the raging storm within your soul and bring peace where you feel you have no peace. He will heal. He will restore relationships. He will forgive and forget your sins. There is so much more when you truly let God be your friend. He does not withhold the keys of the kingdom, His wisdom, His mercy, or His love to those who want to be calm and hear.
Find yourself a quiet spot today and spend time with God. Quality time. Time where you let Him talk to you. Receive His peace. Receive His love. Receive His mercy. Receive His friendship. Ask Him to walk with you through life. You are never too big or too old to ask God to hold your hand and guide your steps. He will take you to places you never dreamed possible.

| I totally love the message. I think we all have trouble with this one. Taking a few minutes or even an hour out our day is not too much to commit the Lover of our souls. Beautifully written.
I found a couple of typos you might like to know about:
Why won't man seek His knowledge?
You are never too big or too old to ask God to hold your hand and guide your steps. |
