Can you hear the tenderness and longing in those words? King Solomon said these words to his future wife and Jesus said them to his disciples on more than one occasion and in different ways. In the Old Testament God took Elijah to a cave, Moses up a mountain and Joseph to a prison cell but it was all about teaching them more about Him and about themselves.
Take a moment, close your eyes and listen to those words, spoken quietly,
whispered in your ear….. just for you.
‘Come Away with Me’
Psalm 17 v 15
I shall be fully satisfied when I awake, to find myself beholding you
and enjoying sweet communion in your presence
I don’t know about you but, my day is full of moments when I have to make a choice – what do I wear? What route do I take to the office? Which email do I answer first? Which supplier do I go with? What do I have for lunch?
There are other more poignant choices we make that don’t just determine what we do but often determine how we feel: What thoughts do I allow to stay in my mind? What do I choose to believe about myself? How do I respond to situations going on around me and in the world?
One of the most important choices I make each day is at the moment I wake up – what is the first thing I choose to do?
