quiet

shhhh, be still. listen, don't speak. quiet your soul; receive from me. 

during a conversation with a friend, the question came up,"what do you think the Lord is asking you to give up?" uhh, so practical. i was talking to the Lord, asking Him what was i holding on to that i needed to give up. but i knew what it was.

i love being accepted, being loved. i seek that from people before the Lord [who already loves me fully, completely]. i knew that i needed to be quiet on the internet for a while, both facebook statuses and here on my blog.

claire, where are you looking for love? be quiet, sit with Me, listen to Me. I have the words of life. I revive your spirit; I am your source. come to Me, you who are weary and heavy-laden, I will give you rest.


thanks, Father. Your words are true and You keep Your promises. help me trust You.

so in the silence, as i went to the Lord, He spoke to me of who i am. He spoke of my identity, my value and my worth.  He is so faithful to speak when i listen.
