Just Be...

I actually like being busy. My whole life I have been busy with this or that. I love always having something to do. So many times I think when it comes to God we want to be busy with Him too. 

What do you want me to sing for You? What do You want me to do for You today? Give me something to do? 

We want something to fill the space. To feel like we are accomplishing something. 

I was feeling this way today, wanting to do something for Him. I tried writing another blog post, finish the song I was writing, play the guitar. But nothing seemed to work for me.

I didn't have a good idea for the blog, I couldn't remember how the song went, and every time I played the guitar the sound wasn't pleasing to me. Finally I just gave up! I quickly went to my worship play list, needing some kind of help! I played the first song, one of my favorites that I hadn't heard in a while called "A Little Longer". In the song the writer is asking God what did He want to hear today? What song would please His heart? Gods reply was simple. 

Just be with me. You don't have to do a thing. I'm in love with you...

That can really offend the brain of a busy person! But God I have to do something! He's like no. Just let all of that stuff go. The songs are great, but what I really want is you. 

A busy person can have a problem with stopping, and just be. To drop everything, and just sit with Him is a hard thing. 

I think we don't realize how much we need that. That deep love from a God who loves us so much that He just wants to sit with you. It really is a wonderful thought, is it not? We can have it if we just learn to be quite and rest. It's not hard to be with Him. We just have to stop and do it.

So make a point this week to just stop and just be with Him. Go to your secret place with Him, see what happens. I promise that you will like what happens.

Did you know you had a secret place with Him? That it's so real and fun? Do you want one? Leave me a comment and I will help you get to it.
