I am in mourning. This week I lost a very dear friend. I find myself with no energy, just sitting and crying and listening to worship music. Grief is important and I am not going to busy myself nor pretend all is well when I am heartbroken.
This morning, as I was praying for the mental strength to pick up my journal and Bible, the words "Come to me all who are weary and burdened" came to mind. As I continued to pray I recalled the part in that verse where He says "take my yoke upon you and learn from me and you will find rest for your souls." Soooooo, in obedience, I picked up my journal, pen, and Bible. My devotion starts with journalled prayer. Look at what today's verse is. God is so good to SHOW me He is with me, He hears me, and He will help me through this. He loves us so much.
This afternoon I opened my daily reading to these pages... I did NOT go looking for them. Obviously I needed to hear it again. He has my attention! He is lavishing comfort on me. I am in awe.
And while I was journaling this song came on. Our God loves like NO other.
