Do you feel like you’re serving God and everybody, but haven’t had time rest in Him, to sit at His feet and listen?
Your Heavenly Husband didn’t call you to be His bride because He wanted a slave. He wants relationship. He loves you. Jesus has so many sweet, beautiful, amazing adventures planned for you to enjoy together. Even times of rest.
But if you’re too busy to enjoy Him, to listen to His heart, to feel His touch, … you’ll miss out on what all this is for.
And you’ll lose a lot of battles. Because He’s the King Who rescues you, Who empowers you, Who arms you, Who trains you for war, Who protects you, Who gives you just the instructions you need to overcome. Psalm 18.
You need Him. Desperately.
I know what it’s like to be a busy mom, especially with more than one baby at once. I needed Jesus desperately, but my body yelled SLEEP! every time I crawled into a corner to be with Him.
But I found that if I guarded that time, He did too. And even when it got run over by sweet little feet, He would give me an extra special time with Him the next day, or He would speak to me all throughout the day, or in my dreams.
Just know, this God Who loves you and pursues you SEES you. He knows all the things you’re juggling and struggling with, and He cares. He wants to step in and do them with you, for you, through you. You’re not meant to raise these little ones on your own. But together with the One Who gave them to you.
Hosea 2:14+, James 4:8, Deuteronomy 32:10, John 14:15, John 5:19, Matthew 22:37-40
— to the bride of Christ, from the One Who has loved her since before time began
