In the past week I have been struck with the simplicity and yet profound mystery of just being with Jesus.
I have been overwhelmed at the thought that God of the universe wants to be with me. He does! He was with me in the ordinary and I sensed His nearness and delight in me at the strangest of moments...
He was there when I browsed around at Target.
( I am sure Jesus loves Target, I mean it's Target.)
He was there when I ate lunch with His Word at Quiznos.
He was there when I slept in and then drank a cup of Paris tea.
He joined me in the laundry room as I sorted my clothes.
He spoke to me as I attempted to tame the mane He gave me.
He encouraged me as I obediently headed off to work.
In the past week I have enjoyed the treasure it is to recognize that my "time with Jesus" is not limited to the moments I spend in the morning with Him. I have grown tired of compartmentalizing my life in such a way to miss out on the truth that Jesus IS and wants to be with me.
We can chat, laugh, cry, sing together no matter what mundane activities are a part of each day. I don't understand it, but I sensed Him there. What a mystery. Jesus wants to be so near.
Whatever your days seem to look like, invite Jesus along. It makes it so much sweeter.
