Jesus by Candlelight

I turned off the lights, lit some scented candles, cued itunes to shuffle mode, piled blankets and pillows on the floor, and sat down with my Bible and journal for a date night with Jesus.

It was simple and beautiful.

I came thankful -- for specific answers to prayer, for seeing God use simple gestures to work in someone's life, for confidence that He is leading, for friends that make me laugh and feel loved, for dreams that are taking flight.

Before I knew it, it was midnight.

Acts 3:19 says, "Times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord." and Psalm 46:10 reminds us to "Be still and know that I am God."

Have you rested in His presence lately? Take time, wherever you are, to be still and thank Him that He is God and He is in control.

Hugs,

Michelle
