You know the person.
That friend you can just chill with.
You don’t have to wash your hair or put on make-up for her, but she’s the first one to notice when you do.
Being together feeds your soul.
Well, God thinks of you that way, too.
He chooses you every time.
He loves to spend time WITH you.
Chillin.
You are, to Him, good company.
His very name says it. Emanuel.
He came to be with us.
He chose 12 rough and tumble men to share His earth worn life with every day.
Not the pretty.
Not the special.
The every day guys.
And throughout His ministry He walked with them. He reclined at the table beside them. They did life together. He made them breakfast. They smelled like fish. But, He did not care.
He wants to spend time with you, too.
His name has not changed. He is still, God with us.
So put your hair in a ponytail and wear your yoga pants.
He’s waiting for you, at Starbucks, the beach, or your favorite chair in the living room.
Ps 46:11 “The Lord of hosts is with us
Matthew 1:23 ” They shall call His name Emanuel which translated means, “God with us.”
I love that God likes to “chill” with me! Great post!
In college I had regular dates with God. I think we are long overdue! 🙂
Love “He’s waiting for you…”. Paints a great picture! Thanks.
I love this! I still slip into the idea that I have to “come clean” in order to come to Him. If I can’t “do it right” I don’t do it at all. Thank you for the reminder to just come!
