So I’m walking outside and I ask Jesus to talk to me. I’ve been doing all the talking lately, I say. Talk to me. Tell me something I don’t know.

 

 

 

Here’s what my heart heard:

 

 

 

I love you, sweet girl.

 

I love you if you go for a run, if you walk instead, or even if you sit on the couch.

 

I love you if you memorize another twenty-seven verses or if you never memorize another one the rest of your life.

 

I love you if you run that 5k you’re thinking about next year or if you just think about running that 5k.

 

I love you if you go on all three trips next year or if you don’t go on any.

 

I love you if you barely hang on with that thing or if it completely changes and you’re able to flourish in it.

 

I love you if you write this book or if you never write another word.

 

I love you if everyone else likes you or if you feel that no one does.

 

I love you when you sin and when you refrain.

 

I love you when you yell and when you hold your tongue.

 

I love you when you eat an apple or when you eat five cookies.

 

I love you on your accomplishing days or on your shopping days.

 

I love you if you do everything or if you do nothing.

 

Lay it all down. Give it all to Me. I’ve got it. I’ve got you.

 

I love you.

 

 

 

I needed that.

 

 

 

Taking a few moments to sit quietly and focus your heart and mind on Jesus is one of the best things you can do for yourself spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even physically. Enjoy this free gift of guided meditations.

you're just moments away from calm!
