Toward the Living God
My dear son,
Your desire to meet me is welcome to my heart. Love being beside me as you might long for a home you are glad to visit. I am the living God, listening to your story right now.
You can praise me with joy expressed through your heart and body, or sit quietly with my word. There is room for different ways of meeting me. I treasure the sincerity with which you seek my presence.
Will you spend even a little time with me this morning? Enjoy my love both where you worship and in your ordinary life. I want to respond warmly to the heart that looks with affection toward the place where I dwell.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 84:1–2
WEB1How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
A short reflection
The psalmist loves God's dwelling place, longs intensely for the temple courts, and sings to the living God with heart and body.
