The Petals Danced With Delight

Today I had the joy of praying with some dear friends. It took a lot of work to coordinate our hectic schedules, but it was so worth it! The peace I feel in my soul makes me smile from the inside.

During our prayer time I envisioned myself free-falling into a field of flowers, and all the petals danced with delight as fragrance took flight. One of the Bible’s shortest verses is 1 Thessalonians 5:17. It says, “Pray continually.” This verse has made me feel like a failure in the past, but after this picture of prayer the Scripture took on new meaning to me. Instead of feeling like a failure for not praying more, I felt the sweet invitation to live in this field of summer flowers, surrounded by beauty and the sweet fragrance of heaven in my heart. Prayer isn’t an obligation, it’s actually a time to rest in God’s beauty. Tears of joy slid down my face as I realized that the invitation is always available to me. Today, I’m rejoicing in accepting the gift of living in His presence and believing that my prayers are a lovely fragrance to Him as well as changing me to smell more like Him! I pray for you to find the time to rest in His beauty too!

Dearly Loved Child of God

There are many truths told throughout Scripture about Jesus’ feet. One of my favorites is found in Luke 10:38-42:

“While Jesus and His followers were traveling, Jesus went into a town. A woman named Martha let Jesus stay at her house. Martha had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to Him teach. But Martha was busy with all the work to be done. She went in and said, ‘Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? Tell her to help me.’

“But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her.’”

As you choose to take time to sit at Jesus’ feet with me and learn from Him, may we hear Him say to us that we have chosen the only thing that is important and it will never be taken away from us! Let’s look at Jesus’ feet as closely as we look at a newborn baby’s feet. We want to count all ten of His toes and worship with wonder the gift that we’ve been given in Jesus.

Sincerely Seeking Jesus’ Feet,
