At His Feet 06/25/2010
 
 This is a note that I've pulled out of the archives. I read it today and it still speaks to me a desire of life that has no joy, no peace and no satisfaction apart from being close to Jesus and living out of the intimacy with Him.

I have been learning through experience the great value of rest. It is so important to cease from rushing around and from being so task driven, to simply just soak in God's presence for a while. Of course, my desire is that when I am rushing around that I may enjoy His presence, but there's just something about stopping everything and sitting at His feet that is like nothing else. Jesus longs to minister to us so that we may know Him more. He loves us deeply, and deeper He calls us to go into His heart discovering all of the beauties of it.
I could be a woman of high education, a woman of great beauty and fashion, a woman of prestige and influence, but I really don't want these things if they have nothing to do with Jesus. I want more than anything to be a woman of His presence. I believe that in His presence is everything we need and as we continue to feed on His presence it pours out to all those around us.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. 2 corinth 2:14. 
Oh, that they may encounter us and find themselves in the presence of God, actually encountering Jesus. It's a sweet love story between a saviour and a broken world. I don't think that God is looking for us to do anything extraordinary but just simply say 'yes' to Him. "Yes, I will go" "Yes, I will be Your voice here" "Yes, I will carry Your glory". A 'want' is all He seems to require and then how quickly that 'want' becomes a burning desire inside of us and we realize that we could live no other way.
And so while the world is rushing around, while people are climbing ladders and earning credentials, making money and searching for happiness- let me simply be a woman of Your presence receiving Your love so that I can give it away.
