Today as I progressed through my beautifully slow morning (I really do love those ones), I honestly was just feeling sorta low because I just haven't been 'feeling' it. Ya know those days or weeks when you feel like you are going through the motions of what a relationship with your God is supposed to look like, but that's about all that's happening. I found myself in tears as I cried out to Jesus to hear my prayers that my heart was so desperately praying. I couldn't help but think of how terrible I felt that in this time when I'm supposed to feel and reflect most on the love and grace and life of my Jesus, and how I just can't feel it. I prayed that the weight of it all would set into my heart. And my friends, as I heard the words of a pastor slowly speak over (what seemed directly to me), I hear 'He's closer than you know.' And that was it. I cried and prayed to climb out of this funk that I was in and that truth seems just enough of what I needed to hear. God sent His Son to show love and make things new for every living soul on this earth. That also means you. God sent His son to show love and make things new for you. Let Him. Let Him make your life into a new creation. Let His love wash over you. Watch as He transforms who you are and be pleasantly surprised by the beauty that unfolds when you let go.
