Come Unto Me

     The last few weeks, His word has beckoned my name.  Come unto me, all who are weary and heavy burdened!  That's me!  I am weary, heavy burdened, down trodden, and beat down.  I ponder to myself, I will come... during nap, in the evening, before bed...  At the day's end His word sits unread, unsoaked, unfelt, and all kind's of un's.  My soul remains unchanged and unrefreshed.  My husband, children, and friends fail to sense a renewed spirit within me.  Yet, I continue to delay reading God's word.  Why?  I desperately need a refreshing dose of God.  I long for spiritual unification with my Father.  Isaiah  promises that if we wait upon the Lord our strength shall be renewed.  Isaiah 40:31 : "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

     Today my prayer is, Psalm 51:10 " Create in me a pure heart God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me".  Lord there is deep urgency in my spiritual breadth.  I can't breathe!  My lungs are compressed!  I long for a fresh word from the Lover of my Life.  Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  Lord, today I commit to reading your word daily.  I realize my weaknesses and desperately need wisdom, peace, joy, and a renewed spirit.  Forgive me for my selfishness!  Forgive me for turning my back on you!  Lord, strengthen my faith!  Thank you for revealing the extent of my spiritual weakness!
