Be Still

Last Thursday I read the lyrics to Steven Curtis Chapman's "Be Still." Well last night I read the poem to the left. 

LET YOUR GOD LOVE YOU

Be silent.

Be still.

Alone.

Empty.

Before your God, say nothing, ask nothing.

Be silent.

Be still.

Let your God look upon you.

That is all.

He knows, He understands, He loves you with an enormous love.

He only wants to look upon you with His love.

Quiet.

Still.

Be.    

Let your God love you.

It was very encouraging to me.  One of my girls asked for me to share it with her, so I thought I would post it here as well. I'm so thankful that God will speak to us when we are still and quiet.  Sometimes it's scary to be alone and quiet, but that's the best place to be when we are waiting to hear from God.  I love listening to music and watching things on TV, but it's more important to turn those distractions off and be still and let God love on us.  

Psalm 46:10 "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." (NASB)
