There’s something peaceful here in California where my two sisters live. It’s quiet and beautiful. My older sis is a widow. Kathy sleeps with her at my sis’s request. She is lonely and that means I’m alone in the other bedroom. I have all the time in the world each morning to do my devotions and reflect with God. 

Today God seemed to be telling me He wanted me to return to journaling to Jesus Christ. Last July He told me to write to Him in my journaling which I started doing. Little did I know at the time how foreign our relationship was. God knew this and I didn’t. Today I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is the Almighty Loving God I’d heard about but didn’t know it personally for me. The intimacy of yesterday’s post is true for God and me.

I also now know that going to God in prayer and meditation I do so with God seeing Christ in me. It isn’t the abused old self that comes to Him. It is the new self in Christ that goes before God. I can’t begin to tell you how meaningful all this is to me. The beginning of learning intimacy is knowing it with my Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Knowing this I no longer stand in fear but I stand in expectation and deep appreciation. Our God is so Good!
