Come to Jesus and rest. He is all around you, to bless and restore. Breathe Him in with each breath. The way ahead of you is very steep. Slow down and cling tightly to His hand. He is teaching you a difficult lesson, learned only by hardship. Lift up empty hands of faith to receive His precious Presence. Light, life, joy, and peace flow freely through this gift. When your focus turns away from Him, you grasp for other things. You drop the glowing gift of His Presence as you reach for lifeless ashes. Return to Him;Regain His Presence. ----Matthew 11: 28 - 29 ; ------1 Timothy 2: 8
