From Jesus
Calling, by Sarah Young, today, August 12th:
COME TO ME when you are weak and weary. Rest
snugly in My everlasting arms. I do not despise your weakness, My child.
Actually, it draws Me closer to you because weakness stirs up My compassion—My
yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that I understand
how difficult your journey has been.
Do not
compare yourself with others who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease.
Their journeys have been different from yours, and I have gifted them with
abundant energy. I have gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for
your spirit to blossom in My Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure:
delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise
or deny your weakness, allow Me to bless you richly through it.
ISAIAH 42:3; ISAIAH 54:10; ROMANS
8:26
My next Instagram
suggestion is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I cannot emphasize enough how
much this book means to me. I cannot tell Y’all how much I NEED to scroll
through IG and come upon my daily post from Jesus Calling. They’re
short. To the point. IMPORTANT. Wonderful. Peaceful. Encouraging. If you don’t
have any of the books I’ve talked about in the past, please consider following
Sarah on Instagram.
[TLC and I had a super busy week beginning last
Monday.. Little Leighton (aka LL) starts kindergarten this coming Wednesday!
Public school. She and TLC attended a “Meet the Teachers” night last Thursday
and both are TRES excited
about her teacher. She seems positively lovely.
My Sweet Hubby (aka MSH) and I kept Baby Elle (aka
Belle) for a night while TLC and LL had two days of “Mom and Only Me Time!” My niece, JP, came to spend the same night
with us that Belle was here. That was FABULOUS. She then followed me to TLC’s
casa for a short visit. She had to leave late that afternoon for her home. We
were all grateful for the time she shared with us, her humor and kindness! She ROCKS.]
This weekend I’ve felt
puny. Off a bit. Allergies? The weather? Just...well...pooped? I don't know. (We did get a teeny bit of rain. TLC—and
others—got much more than us. Dadgummit. But it’s been cloudy and humid since
mid-week!) I did some work around the house yesterday and this afternoon.
Waited for a call for two days about a “showing” to prospective buyers (which
never happened…UGH…). Did errands with MSH in Fort Worth
Jesus. During all of my
minutes, hours, days, and nights this past week, I’ve needed Jesus.
May each of you have a
Wonderful Week—wherever in this World Y’all are! And may you find Jesus if you
haven’t yet. May My Sweet Jesus fill you with His peace, comfort, strength,
patience, and, most of all, His unconditional love!
Hugs,
ELC
