Resting in the Lord


I just got back from a women’s retreat in the Kansas City, MO area. The women were given an extended time with God. One of the things we talked about was the possibility that they might sleep during part of the time. We likened it to a child, crawling up into the lap of their mom, cuddling in close and falling asleep. If a mother enjoys that kind of love with her child, how much more God would enjoy us completely relaxing in His presence and basking in His love.

In the picture above you might see a few white dots in the grass. These are women laying in grass, soaking up the warmth of the sunshine - but mostly resting in the Presence of their Father who loves them very, very much.

The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
(Zephaniah 3:17)
