Day 203 - Rest sweet spirit

Today is Sunday and the day for rest.  I did exactly that.  I never nap in the afternoon but did today and for once it felt great.  Hope I sleep tonight.

I love Sundays because I get fed so well at my church and I always am eager at what I will come away with to help not only my walk but for others.

Today was the completion of a series on "Love Expressed."  Today sermon was "What is God's greatest desire?"  The answer, US!  He wants us, to be married to us, have us in close communion with Him and both of us in love with each other.  Worship is how we achieve this relationship.

Lord, I am so happy to worship you in song, prayer, fellowship, friends, etc.  May I never lose the fellowship I share so passionately with You and helping others find their way to You.  Amen

So as I continued to climb this mountain I felt my way with fingertips dug into the dirt in front of me.  Then it happened.  I felt a flat place and the more I reached forward the more area opened up before me.  I crawled onto what was a level summit.  There was even small vegetation and coolness in the spot of ground.  It was good to lie in the place with extremities outstretched.  I was able to really rest and look up as clouds swirled and the wind blew gently across my face.  It was a peaceful place and I was content to stay there for awhile.

So rest I did.  I decided to stay in this prone position for today and worship God.  His peace washed over me and made me feel closer to Him than I had ever been.  This was joy, unspeakable joy.
