Jesus Calling

Have you ever wondered if the disruptions, unsettled feelings, longings, restlessness in your soul or, to put it more plainly, your gut, could be textings from the Lord? I have.

Could these stirrings within simply be invitations from Him? Could it be that He wants so much for me to come that He continually is signaling me through these “tugs of divinity” to come - to come into His presence for His loving embrace and comfort, for the refreshing of my soul or for a chance to simply be with Him?

Okay, back to the topic of silence, stillness and sitting in His presence. It’s a good idea but, how, oh how, does it happen in our nutso, crazy, wild ride existence? Is it possible to practice His presence like Brother Lawrence centuries before us when we are plagued by SO many 21st century pulls and distractions?

 Here we are…out of the fast lane, screeching halt-then, SIT, BE STILL, LISTEN. Really? Fast transitions often leave my head spinning. Can I regain a quiet focus long enough to settle into the quiet and stillness and hear anything?
