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.
