Quieting My Heart: Just Come

"I am

the Bread of Life;

whoever comes to Me

shall not hunger,

and whoever believes in Me

shall never thirst."

(John 6:35)

It's as simple

as pausing,

taking a moment, 

lifting our eyes to Him,

quieting our hurried pace,

coming close to listen

to Him.

"Why would we abandon

what is simple, available,

and sustaining

for what is cumbersome,

hard, and heavy?

Why do we try to fill 

our need with what is

ultimately empty?"

(Shelly Miller)

Lord, may today

be a day of pausing,

of quieting our hearts

even amidst our work,

and of coming close

to listen and learn,

to be loved by You.
