EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
There are so many times when I just want to sit in my yard on my chair swing, block out all the noise of my life, and have a sweet, quiet moment with my Savior. Why? Because of what it brings to my soul. I just wish I had more of it.
Sitting with Jesus, spending quiet time in prayer and contemplation, can bring several positive outcomes to any of our lives. It can lead to a clearer understanding of our thoughts and feelings, strengthen our faith, and inspire us to love others! Sometimes I have to wait long in the presence of Jesus, and when it comes to the difficult ones in my life that I love. But God usually shows me the “why” of it!
God empowers you with boldness in your day-to-day living when you sit in quietness with Him. He does speak; we just need to learn His voice. Furthermore, He quiets your spirit and allows you to listen for His truth when you ask Him. As for the guidance from God you need, or to receive comfort, or to experience joy and peace in all you’re going through. It’s time we’ll vested, trust me.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
By dedicating time to be still and listen, you can gain clarity on your thoughts and feelings, and potentially receive guidance from God through the Holy Spirit. Jesus can strengthen your faith to new levels and embolden you to do more for Him. He allows you to face challenges with more courage and confidence.
Being with Jesus can inspire you to love on others more deeply and compassionately, because you are reflecting the love you experience through your relationship with Him. I think that is my biggest takeaway. He always gives me more reasons to love on others in a deeper and more intentional way.
God’s presence can bring comfort, joy, and a peace that surpasses understanding during quiet time with Jesus.
Philippians 4:7: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus”.
