Book Recommendation:

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

This is one of the best devotionals I have read. It is written in first person as if the Holy Spirit is speaking directly to you. It also gives scriptures for inspiration and meditation.

Wednesday Inspiration

 

"But you O Lord, are a shield for me; my Glory and the Lifter of my head." Ps. 3:3

Comfort

“…there is nothing you can want, there is nothing you can ask for,
there is nothing you can need in time or in eternity,
there is nothing living, nothing dying,
there is nothing in this world, nothing in the next world, there is nothing now, nothing at the resurrection-morning,nothing in heaven which is not contained in this text “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

~Charles Spurgeon

Quiet Mornings with God

My soul, my heart craves the presence of God.  Now that I have been transformed by His love and His Spirit--- my heart yearns for more. I retreat to my closet, my sanctuary. Here I am surrounded by clothes and shoes, but I am suddenly transported beyond the moment, to the throne.  It is here that I communicate with the Creator and redeemer of my soul.  Jesus shares the love letters of His word with me.  He tells me I am His own.  He binds me to Himself with righteousness, justice, love and mercy.  I am made new in my quiet mornings with God.
