The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:18-19
Read this today on Whatever blog and just wanted to share. It hit home today:
If you merely pretend that you enjoy God or love Him, He knows. You can’t fool Him; don’t even try. Instead, tell Him how you feel. Tell Him that He isn’t the most important thing in this life to you, and that you are sorry for that. Tell Him that you’ve been lukewarm, that you’ve chosen _____________ over Him time and again. Tell Him that you want Him to change you, that you long to genuinely enjoy Him. Tell Him how you want to experience true satisfaction and pleasure and joy in your relationship with Him. Tell Him you want to love Him more than anything on this earth. Tell Him you want to experience the kingdom of heaven so much so that you’d willingly sell everything in order to get it. Tell Him what you like about Him, what you appreciate, what brings you joy.

Oh my!! lovely!! I needed to hear these words today...
I always enjoy your "Quiet Time" posts so much, Marianne, but sometimes don't know what to say ... So I just wanted to say, thank you!
A beautiful quiet time post. Thank-you.
I, too, needed this promise-reminder today. For posting these weekly passages, I thank you.
