Today my daughter asked me if I was excited that this time of fasting and seeking the Lord was almost over. I didn't answer, because today was so, so good. I just thought to myself, "Do I really want this to end?" I'll be honest, there have been moments when I've wanted to quit and give in to my physical cravings. Yet, I've persevered, because I know that joy awaits. I'm pressing forward for the blessing of being nearer to my Father.
I don't know if you know this, but I was adopted 31 years ago by the perfect Father. By the King of the Universe. I'm still learning how to receive His love. I'm still learning how to live as a child of the Most High King. I'm still learning how to trust Him completely.
But there are days like today when I know my Father loves me. He shows me in such tangible ways. It isn't simply a theory. I know!
My heart is just overflowing with His joy!
Oh how I love Jesus!
Because He first Loved me.
There is no sweeter name than the name of Jesus. If you have not tasted of His sweetness, I challenge you to call on His name today. Those who earnestly seek Him will be rewarded with His sweet, sweet presence.
