Take Delight!

"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." ~ Psalm 37

Another long day is drawing to a close. I was working out of town and had lunch with a friend there. I worked until the end of the day and drove back into the city to gather for a final time with my small group who I have come to care for deeply. One family will be moving away in a few weeks and I could sense the sadness of saying goodbye. Why does love bring such pain? Why is letting go such a challenge? I know God will bless them and us. We prayed well over them at the end of the evening and then the group prayed over me for my trip to South Africa.

I feel like delight has slipped away from me with the stress of university, work and other issue. I hope that I can grasp it again soon. I recognized just the other day that my inner song was still playing. That was a huge relief!

The desires of my heart right now are rest and joy brought on by an inner peace. What are you longing for tonight?

Peace,
