Come Away and be My Love



"Come away and be My love."
It's hard to stop. It's hard to be going, going, going and then purposefully put on the brakes. SCREECH.
It's hard to look at a half finished "To do List," and decide to leave things undone, it hard to know that if you sit down there's a good possibility that the sink wont be empty of dishes today. It's hard to drop everything and still away to be Jesus. Martha can attest to this.
To let go of our so called priorities, to be flexible with our days, to live at peace-to have a quiet heart. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
When I was 12 I use to practice this more. Every afternoon I would sneak away from the rest of the bustling household and spend some time with God. Mostly I would pray. I told Him everything. The good things that had happened that day, trials, failures, plans and worries. I could sense how much pleasure it gave Him to hear me. Then He would pour His renewing love into my heart and I would leave whatever room I had hid away in, with such peace.
In the past 8 years my life has grown busier than it once was. I blink my eye and and it seems my day is done. So many more people counting on me, so many more things to get done but how much sweeter would it be if I came to Jesus, if I talked to Him? If I stopped to be silent, to know the Lord?
I want to have a relationship with God! Don't you? I don't want to just read about it on other peoples blogs or in books, I myself want to experience it.
Today. Right now. He's inviting, whispering softly, urgently, "Come away and be My love."
Kind of like a date...only with THE absolute PERFECT Man!

Why do you sit parched by a Fountain? Your Bible is on your night stand and a church a few blocks away... Go take a long drink from God's Fountain and LIVE.

What Breaks God's Heart?

What Breaks God's Heart?

  • People who forget their purpose
  • The Ten Commandments beoming the Ten Good Ideas
  • Bellies that will never be full
  • Parents who are not cared for in their old age
  • Churches with closed hearts
  • Babies dying before they breath their first breath
  • Fathers who are not thanked
  • Mothers who are forgotten
  • Little Girls who are not treasured
  • Little Boys who are put aside
  • And His children choosing to stand on the side-lines
