Day 26: Morning Breakthrough

I love the SILENCE of the morning,

as distractions are still sleeping

as it is just little 'ole me being every so quiet,

which is a miracle in itself,

because

the SILENCE is filled

with the STILLNESS

that greets me

as I have a date with GOD.

My hubby does not get jealous,

as he is actually the one who always encourages

me to continue my dates with GOD,

because he knows that I become my best self

when I am in the PRESENCE of GOD.

Oh what a GIFT to sit with GOD

because GOD will never deny a seat to be with you.

As I sit here in the STILLNESS

I am picturing what it would be like

if I could see GOD sitting next to me

and JESUS sitting on the other side of me.

I see them reclining back

in PERFECT PEACE

and laughing to one another

with such JOY

that makes me embrace the silence.

I don't have to say anything

as just THEIR PRESENCE sandwiches me with

PERFECT PEACE that has no words

because it transcends all understanding.

I don't want to leave this

PLACE OF STILLNESS

as it feels so safe,

even though I can't see THEM.

I TRUST that THEY are here,

because TRUST believes in the unseen

that lives in every moment

that lives within me,

hugging me with A PERFECT STILLNESS

that never leaves

even when the distractions of life begin to wake up~

"for the LORD GOD is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).

HE is the STILLNESS in the noisy world

that touches the core of your being

that awakens your soul

to the LOVE that surrounds you

no matter where you are.

Oh the sweet spot

when

PERFECT PEACE meets PERFECT JOY

that puts distractions to rest

because you become at rest

when you take the time to

"BE STILL & KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD"*

Even when the sounds of the day get louder

THE STILLNESS OF GOD

rises above

as it

takes first place

when you choose to give

GOD first place.

That PLACE

when the unseen becomes so visible~

"You love HIM even though you have never seen HIM.

Though you do not see HIM now, you trust HIM;

and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy" (I Peter 1:8).

Pull up a chair.

Actually pull up three chairs.

Sit in the middle one

and leave the other two for

GOD & JESUS

who will show up

and

leave you speechless

as you become so filled with

PERFECT PEACE

&

INDESCRIBABLE JOY

that you never want to leave,

yet never ever have to,

as your every

SECOND

that is GIFTED to you today

will be laced with an overwhelming

STILLNESS that will continue to

overwhelm the distractions

that wake you up in the morning

that get you running before your feet touch the ground,

as HE stops you in your tracks

when you take the moment

to do the one thing that is the only thing~

"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD" *(Psalm 46:10)

so that you are always at

"REST"
