In a hurried world with a long list of things to do, God stands clear and instructs us to be still. In the book of psalms God through the words of David shares that he will be exalted when we slow down and recognize the truth of who God is. God encourages us to do the same. If we spend all our energy reacting to life around us we will not know who we are. We will simply be someone based on what happens to us. When we get still and listen the voice of our hearts we being to know the core of who we are. This may not be easy and we may be afraid to find out what will speak to us in the stillness but if God can go there so can we. In my experience of our daily dates when I garnered the courage to get to the core of who I am in stillness I found God already there. It was if he said to me, “Good, glad you are here. Now we can get to work.” God is not afraid to get down and dirty in the muck I have placed over my heart because she knows the truth lies underneath. He is not afraid because he knows I am not what I have done to my heart, I am my heart.
