Looking harder 

Some days you wake with a song in your heart and your thoughts are automatically focused on God - it's like he's been there all night whilst you were sleeping!

 On those days it's great you can see God everywhere - in the mist or the frost - even in the rain - in the trees and the clouds -  on the fields - your heart is full and your voice full of worship and praise - it's so easy to reach for your bible - to read your daily devotion - to drop to your knees and pray.

God is there with you - you can feel him - He's in your heart - in your mind and all around you !!

However, there are many days when you wake up empty - your head starts filling with 'to do' lists- you've got a tight schedule - unreasonable dead lines - you have to plan everything with split second timing- it's hard to roll back the thoughts of the day to connect with God --! you try! - nothing! - your mind just keeps returning to the impossible day in front of  you.

 These are the days when you just have to persevere -and push back the calls of the day and focus your mind and your heart on The Lord. 

A thought will pop up telling you that you have too much to do - dismiss it and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus! 

You have to look harder to see Him - - but He's still there - it's you who isn't present - you who is unaware of His Presence because the day's duties are overwhelming you - -  clouding your vision. 

When you focus on Jesus - everything else grows dim - your days worries will dissolve like snow as you become aware of Him. 

So although we all want the days when we feel like we've been with God throughout the night - we also need those  days when we have to look harder - we need those days for growth- it all helps us to grow closer to Him.

I pray that the days of closeness with God will be more and more numerous as you grow in His wonderful unfailing Love!!

God Bless
