Just Be

**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**

    Sometimes you need to just be. No analyzing, no looking for opportunities for growth, no asking yourself how you could have done something better. Just be.

    I am always looking for where I can improve, how I can grow, how I can learn and making the most of every opportunity. And sometimes I just need to be. Often God invites me to receive and to be. This is a sweet grace that God gives us.

    Do you need this grace today? If so, will you just be?

**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**

God Waits

**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**

    God waits. God is so patient as He waits for us to learn, grow and “get it”. He waits as I learn (again) to speak kind words. He waits as I learn (again) to trust Him alone. He waits as I learn (again) that I desperately need Him to do what He has called me to. He waits.

    God has the perfect pace and timing yet He is so patient with me. My impatience sits in stark contrast to His as I demand of myself more than He does, as I demand more of others than He does … and I demand it now.

    God waits as you learn and grow. He pushes, challenges and encourages while waiting patiently and lovingly, knowing we need time.

    He gives you time, will you give yourself time?

**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**
