For months now
God has been teaching me the art of resting in Him, constantly lecturing me on
how I’m always wanting to “do” for Him and how, oftentimes, He wants me to
simply be with Him. I’d habitually
say things like, “But what is resting in You doing?”, “How exactly am I accomplishing anything?”, or the most
repeated, “God, I don’t know how to just be
with You. Shouldn't I be doing things for other people and showing them Your
Love?” I had a horrible case of the “Grace-by-Works” syndrome and, by His Grace
alone, I’m getting better…
This morning as I
was praying, I added as a side not, “Sometimes, I just want to sleep all day
with You.”
God’s response: “‘What
exactly does that accomplish?’”
