This morning as I was talking with Jesus about really wishing a birthday package sent by a friend would arrive, He gently nudged my thoughts to other things "unseen." Each time I get the chance to go to town, I race to the Post Office, hoping for mail in the box. I often find my thoughts consumed by things like when I'll get to drink a Coke, eat M&Ms, get back to America...... Jesus gently asked, "Why don't you long to be with me like that?" It's true, when I'm thinking of Him, those other things seem much less urgent. Thank you Jesus for the reminder that you're always waiting for me.
Kellie, I can so relate and I'm not thousands of miles away in Kenya. When our eyes get focused on anything but Him, dissatisfaction grows! I wish your mailbox could be filled with the love we feel for you. Just know that when we fail you, God is always there to give you that extra hug and Holy Spirit 'mail.' I love you! Rhonda
