Perfect Timing.

As I sit at Starbucks this afternoon, 

spending some time alone,

[there is a lot of this these days.]

I have encountered a couple instances

where I am acutely aware of

just how much He cares about me. 

1. I received Jesus Calling

this summer, and everything inside me

wanted to write it off as a cheesy, trite,

devotional guide. However, as I have started

reading through it each day I am amazed

by it's timeliness and relevance to my life.

"Learn to live from your true center in Me. I reside in the deepest depths of your being, in eternal union with your spirit. It is at this deept level that My peace reigns continually. You will not find lasting peace in this world around you, in circumstances, or in human relationships. The external world is always in flux- under the curse of death and decay. But there is a gold mine of Peace deep within you, waiting to be tapped. Take time to delve into the riches of My residing Presence. I want you to live increasingly from your real center, where my love has an eternal grip on you. I am Christ in you, the hope of glory." 

 February 20 Entry [Colossians 3:15; Colossians 1:27]

2. As I worked on studying Revelation 3,

I was approached by the stranger

at the table next to me. He not only was a local

Missionary with a grasp on studying this book, 

he also showed me his tattooed sleeve 

depicting Revelation 4 & 5  in visual form. 

The man invited me to check out the 

resources his church has for studying

Revelation. I think I'll take him up on it.

His timing is perfect.
