08/15/2008 Entry: "run away"
I had an incredible day yesterday. I got up early, and me and my dog went to the beach. Yes, I love the beach, but I went to find God. I hear He lives there. I think it's true. It seems every time I go there, I always find Him...although, I'm quite certain it isn't because of the physical location as much as the genuine pursuit to get away, with the sole purpose of hearing Him.
As I sat facing the beach, the melody of crashing waves did His majesty far more justice than the voices of any human choir. I think it's because they have known Him since the beginning of time, and have the ability to praise Him in a way only they can...so beautiful, and peaceful...
I say all that to encourage you this morning. If you feel too far, too lost, without even the faintest desire to seek Him at all, for fear you will walk away the same, I encourage you to RUN AWAY! Go to the park, the beach, the mountains, anywhere, just GET OUT! Sure, I know you have a million things to do, and you may not "feel" like it, but GO! I promise that no matter how far you feel, you will find He is much closer than you realize. He promises that if you "seek Him, you will find Him".
Just as gravity is a law that will not change, so God himself has set this law into place, and promises us that if we truly make an effort to seek Him, we will find Him. Maybe you don't even feel like praying. Just take your Bible, and a journal. Write your heart to God. Write your prayer...tell him how you feel, ask Him for His heart...He will meet you there...
I love this verse because it says, no matter how hard our hearts are, we are never too far gone. We must simply ask.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
" A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues..."
Love you all and pray that God enlightens you today and gives you peace. He loves you so much, that's why He had me write this entry...because He knew you would be reading these words RIGHT now...He wants to meet you, run to Him. Run away.
This is Me and Des after a long day at the beach. She was so awesome. We'd chase the waves and hurdle them like they we were conquering the world :) was awesome :)
LOVE. SARA DELIGHT*

dont EVER stop Encouraging us!! WE "MUST" PUSH THE "PAUSE" BUTTON in continued Contact with our Creator...Who IS THE GREAT I AM and DWELL (take up residence, abide- not just vacation) - IN - THAT SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD- Where there "is" Pleasure in HIS PRESENCE .... forever! Thank You God for ALWAYS MEETING US when we seek YOU, whether it is a felt encounter or a faith encounter! Whenever...we open up His Word, HE IS FAITHFUL TO "SPEAK" to each of us. God bless you, Sara Delight, as you continue on this journey with Your Master.
