Below I am dialogue journaling with God through devotional material I was reading January 19, 2015
From Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (quoting devotional for January 19 / my words):
Jesus: Seek My Face, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let Me displace worry at the center of your being. I am a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into the pool of your mind. My nature is to bless.Your nature is to receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify Me by receiving My blessings gratefully.
Me: All you require of me is to be open to receive?
Jesus: I am the goal of all your searching. When you seek Me, you find Me and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, I fade into the background of your life. I am still there watching and waiting: but you function as if you were alone.
Me: Forgive me, Lord, for being spiritually blind and distracted. Open my eyes spiritually to"see" your unseen Prescense. I have often felt forgotten and alone, but I recognize now that was never true. You have always been there loving me even when I could not love myself.
Jesus: Actually, My light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include Me in all your moments. Let NOTHING dampen your search for Me.
Me: Abba, open my eyes, mind and heart so I can “see” what I’ve been missing….the JOY of experiencing Your Presence in ALL aspects of my life! Thank you that Your Presence is the promised constant in my life. I ask for this enhanced vision on the authority of Jesus’ name, Amen
