Sometimes I just crave being
alone with Him. I’m like a kid with a bag of penny candy who wants to hide with
the sack of goodness…where no one can interrupt the pleasure of indulgence of
the sweet treat. I want to sit in quietness and gaze at the beauty He has
created in the vibrant greens of the hillside set against the blue hues of the
sky. Where my ears are opened to children’s laughter, neighbors talking, and
birds who sing a perfect melody…all created by Him to be enjoyed by me.
But sometimes it is me who gets
in the way. I need to learn to take two steps back and look up more often
rather than working hard to fulfill my “to
do “ list or my own selfish desires. I disappoint myself, but then again if the
focus was on Him to begin with and not me…disappointments would be extinct and
only His blessings would remain.
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I
shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet
waters,
He restores my soul.”
