Thoughts Slid Into My Mind
And My Heart Responded
I may have wanted things moving faster today to get to the point I wanted to get to pronto. I wanted things to happen fast.... progress quicker..... and move along without delay.
But no, it would not do that. At least not today.
Instead today I was made to be still and watch the clouds go by..... listen to a gentle breeze blowing..... catch a yellow butterfly flit quickly by my window..... hear the chatter of humans going about the clutter of their day..... listen to a beautiful melody on the radio..... share smiles with friendly neighbors walking by my house..... and listen to my heartbeat saying "Be still."
So I did.
It took much effort because I was weary, exasperated, and drained by the slowness of the day..... of life.
And I met God. He asked me this question.....
"Why do you fret and worry?"
I replied, "There is so much to worry about. Life is not funny. I respond to it in the only way I know how. How else can I not be?"
He smiled and softly said, "Try responding with a little bit more of faith."
And added with a noticeable tiny yet gentle reproach.....
"Be still, my child, and know that I am God."
Indeed God is there even in the slowness of the day or hour. You will find Him when you seek Him with your heart.
