It's That Being Still Thing Again...

A sweet friend shared this with me today.  And, I simply had to pass it along.  It was a lovely blend of encouragement, challenge, and Truth.  Savoring His joy.  Enjoying His lavish blessings.  Just rest.  And receive.  Talking to myself here, too.  Just a wee bit.

"Do not hesitate to receive Joy from Me, for I bestow it on you abundantly.  The more you rest in My Presence, the more freely My blessings flow into you.  In the Light of My Love, you are gradually transformed from glory to glory.  It is through spending time with Me that you realize how wide and long and high and deep is My love for you.
 
Sometimes the relationship I offer you seems too good to be true.  I pour My very Life into you, and all you have to do is receive Me.  In a world characterized by working and taking, the admonition to rest and receive seems too easy.  There is an intricate connection between receiving and believing:  As you trust Me more and more, you are able to receive Me and My blessings abundantly.  Be still, and know that I am God."
