Love Me Love You

Come away, God says. Yes, you, come away and sit with me. Come and let me give you the gift of my presence. I want to share the stillness of this moment with you. I want to whisper words of kindness to you. I want to pour my infinitely rich and deep love in your very soul. 

So come, let me love you. Let me love that part of you that believes you are valuable only while you are serving others. You are valuable for just who you  are. You don't have to keep running. You don't have to prove your worth through frantic activity. Let me love that part of you that is weary and needs to rest. Listen, listen as I tell you to drop your burdens right now, and rest like a child in the presence of a loving Father....

So come. Sit with me. Let me love you.
