Jesus Calling: August 19

I continually call you to closeness with Me. I know the depth and breadth of your need for Me. I can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from Me. I offer rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in Me, other pleasures become less important. Knowing Me intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. The spring flows freely from My throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances.
     Waiting on My Presence keeps you connected to Me, aware of all that I offer you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on Me. This is how you trust Me in the moments of your life.

Psalm 131:2
English Standard Version

But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child is my soul within me.
 
Psalm 21:6
English Standard Version 

For you make him most blessed forever;
    you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
 
Psalm 37:7
English Standard Version 

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
    fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
    over the man who carries out evil devices!
