I had a foggy fellowship walk with the Lord this morning. The fog represents for me His faithful presence with me, even when my circumstances are not as vivid or as bright or as cheery as they are at other times. Still, He is with me and just as invested, just as interested in building my relationship with Himself. He remains just as delighted with me as always.
Despite the gloom of the day, He warmly welcomes me. He receives and respects my praise and my requests, even when they are meekly expressed. My words to Him are not new but they are true, and that is what matters most to me as well as to Him, for He delights in truth in the innermost being.
When I returned home, He gave me a creative surprise on my computer: a nature scene that arrested my gaze and made my heart swell with desire for the One who creates such wonderful landscapes.
I thanked Him for all the blessings we have received from Him through a dear brother who is celebrating a birthday today. I asked Him to boost this brother’s awareness of the Lord’s presence and givingness, of His reality and affection for him.
I also thanked Him for all He does to keep me going and energized and encouraged and believing and fascinated and trusting and loving. He is always greater than any of the obstacles or barriers to my connection with Him.
I thanked Him for caring for me in the multitude of ways that I either do not see, do not understand or do not appreciate, and for always being benevolently disposed to me.
He is my truest treasure. He is my brightest dream. He is my supreme delight. He is what I value most in life and what I want most out of life. He is simply the Best. The best thing that ever happened to me and the best thing that keeps happening to me day by day.
