Sacred Monday


"Conversation requires talking and listening. As I talk to Jesus may I also learn to be still and listen. I picture the gentleness in his eyes and the smile full of love as he gazes on me. I can be totally honest with Jesus as I tell him of my worries and my cares. I will open up my heart to him as I tell him of my fears and my doubts. I will ask him to help me to place myself fully in his care, to abandon myself to him, knowing that he always wants what is best for me."

I found these words at Sacred Space today. What an unbelievable gift to know that we are loved by someone who is all loving, all knowing, all peace. And we have the freedom to just come. No acting, no trying to be better than we are. We just come & God meets us - regardless of whether we even totally believe he exists. Amazing.

God, help me see your face is the prayer I continue to pray. He has never neglected to show himself. He continues to amaze.

Thanks for reminding me about Sacred Space. I always seem to find words of comfort that are exactly fitting there.

Love,

Great post Vic - thanks for reminding me of Sacred Space as well. I am finding myself doing a lot more listening these days as I chat with Jesus. It is a beautiful thing. I am so thankful and humbled by the conversation I share with Jesus.
