So now, I’m giving you this gift of invitation into God’s presence. (Let’s be honest, this gift is straight from God and so holy.) It’s breathtakingly intimate and personal. Just looking at this sweet list filled me with such peace and joy in this beautiful relationship to which God has called me. To which he has called you.
Together we came up with a great list I think. I also thought and prayed about which ones I would add to the list. I spent the next morning looking through and carefully reading all of her verses.
My interest was piqued, and I asked her to send me a copy. To such an invitation, my spirit can’t help but say, “yes!”Īs I talked with one of my nearest, dearest friends this week, she mentioned a list she’d curated of Bible verses about spending time with God. Sometimes the most powerful motivator for me to slow the busyness of life to BE with God is a simple invitation, spoken straight from His Word.
