JUST RECEIVE – by Linzy Bruno
"He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but for His name’s sake." (Psalm 23:3 Amp)
I love the way God gradually teaches me His ways. As I continue in my journey with Him, He teaches me through my experiences with Him and through learning His Word. I've learned to meditate on His Word throughout the day in order to stay connected to Him, and it always fills me with joy when I do. However, He has also taught me that when I allow myself to get upset for whatever reason, it's not a sin, but I won't be able, in my frenzy, to meditate with enough focus; therefore, it isn't satisfying, and I feel lost and alone. So what do I do God? I finally ask, being so distracted with my racing, overwhelmed, human mind. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, hours or even a day (if I'm really in a funk) and in my heart, I hear His answer: Just Receive. His answer, in that case, is to let Him calm and soothe me first, then I can go back to my meditation later, when it can be an enjoyable and satisfying time spent with Him.
Oh yeah, silly me, is usually my next thought, and then I throw my hands up to Heaven, close my eyes, or look up and pray.
Thank You Lord for reminding me when I am weary that I can receive Your healing touch. Make me feel right again in my mind, my spirit, and my body, as only You can, Lord! Oh Lord thank you; I receive Your divine way of making all things better within me right now. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
