"Time alone with the Lord Jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power." Andrew Murray
My inner man needs renewing. There are so many things that I have begun to believe lies about, spent time worrying over and fretting over, when really I need the power of the Spirit and the Truths of Jesus. I am realizing that this is a gradual thing...the development of the lies...but the minute, second, I invite the Holy Spirit to speak Truth and I really listen...He is there. Why wouldn't I want to do that every moment I could...especially every day? I have really had to be creative with my quiet times since Emilynn came along...not because it is difficult to do, but realigning my thoughts and day around Emilynn and housework has been challenging for me. There are so many things that I am learning to let go of to really be able to enter into the moments of motherhood. One thing I cannot let go of is coming before my King and allowing Him to speak to my heart. I have a stack of books that I want to read that I am sure will speak of Jesus to me, but I have decided to go back to some old faithful books and writings by Andrew Murray and Scripture to really spend some much needed time with the King. It is life-giving already.
Thank you Jesus for your endless grace and MERCY. It is beautiful. Renew me today as I lay these lies and burdens before you...
