The importance of being

Comments on July 28/10 journal entry...

So I came back to write down my reason for posting yesterday... I remember thinking after writing ... am I staying in the want and eagerly wanting more but not moving on to the receiving .  There is, however, something else I need to realize too. That I can feel that deep hunger for God but I don't always need Him in the way I think it should be.  Let me explain... Yesterday I journalled my want for a word or explanation from Him.  We live wanting answers to questions and to receive direction or gain understanding in our times talking to God.  But sometimes... even oftentimes ... I think Jesus just wants us to be with Him.  Soaking Him up with no demands at all.  To see where He will take things or will reveal in just that time of being together.  Being satisfied to just sit with Him reminds us to lay down ourselves at His feet, all of who we are, and look at Him and enjoy the crazy deep love He has for us.  During these moments things can become much clearer.  Maybe our figuring out isn't as important as we feel it is;  perhaps living in His presence, guided constantly by Him, in trust and obedience is what leads to real living.
