Come Away

so many times I have been drawn to come away...come away to the One who knows me the best.  Knows my thoughts and feelings without saying a word.  Often times, I long for a secret place of my own with my Jesus.  A place I can go to often without interruptions, unhindered to freely express the struggle inside.  When I am at my weakest, I am at the point of tears...actually...balling (WAAHHHHHH) where there is no words that can explain nor express the things stirring inside...but somehow the tears and groaning and cries says all that my lips could not to Him who sees and understand...My shelter and my comfort is hiding under His wings!  
 
 "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10  Stop moving...Stop talking...just stop....be still...and Listen to that still small voice...that want nothing more than make His truth alive in me.   Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding is found in Jesus...He is truth!!!  and it helps to have  a Helper guide into all truth...one very specific one that is becoming more and more real to me and I am coming to understand more and more is...  
 
Isaiah 40:31
Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
 
"Wait for the Lord" not an easy thing for someone that tends to be task oriented...sometimes find myself feeling guilty for not doing anything...somthing God is growing me out of.... Jesus..Lord....the Way, the Truth and the Life..."Wait for the Lord" His presence...His voice...His leading...that's where everything stands!!!  The love to be able to love comes from Him...the strength, serving in response to His love instead of duty or obligation, to ability to endure, to give, to rejoice always (Philippians 4:4) and so much more....He is my source..."to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called" Eph 4:2.  I have only scratched the surface...I want to know Him intimately...but it will take waiting for the Lord...
