Sit with Me

I often keep a chair near my front door, where I sit outside and read before the morning sun shifts to the side of the house. On the evening of March 25, my spirit sensed a prompting to sit outdoors.

On my way out, I grabbed a devotional book I hadn't seen in a while, and as I settled into my chair and leafed through the pages, I couldn't quite settle on one of the 40 devotionals. I found myself reading a bit of this and that! 

I continued turning the pages, landing at the back of the book and noticing on the bottom of the last page and the inside back cover, I had written these words in 2021:

Sit with Me

Sit with Me

This is where I want you to be

Receiving my Presence

Holding my Hand

Remembering that I'm your best Friend!

Sit with Me 

Sit with Me

This is where I want you to be

Resting in My Presence

Receiving My Grace

As I'm there with you

Meeting Face to face!

Amen xoxo

While "Sit with Me" is not in Rhyming with God, I note in the preface that some of the poems included in the book are ones I initially penned inside of devotional books and journals, similar to how "Sit with Me" is tucked away in a devotional. Interestingly, I found it after the invitation to sit with God that evening, as if it were confirmation from God through words I had written years earlier.

Today, I add:

Friends, 

Enjoy sitting with our Maker of the Universe

Slowing down and perhaps reading a verse

And soaking up nature

All made by our Creator

Breathe in the fresh air

Feel God's Love & Care

Relax your mind and enjoy this time

With God—The Beloved Divine!

In sitting with God,

Penny

xoxo
