Today is Friday, June 4th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4465
My friend Donna has been in the hospital for several days, waiting for her turn to have heart bypass surgery. Today is the day!
I talked with her by phone on Wednesday. She shared with me that she had just read that day's (June 2) Sarah Young's JESUS CALLING: Enjoying Peace in His Presence" entry (especially the first paragraph). Put yourself in her place as she waited her surgery. She said, "Listen to this!"
"Relax in My Healing, holy Presence. Be still, while I transform your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive My Peace. Cease striving, and know that I am God.
"Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of 'godliness'. They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of Me. Even today, man-made rules about how t olive the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on Me.
"It is through knowing Me intimately that you become like Me. This requires spending time alone with Me. Let go, relax, be still, and know that I am God."
~ Taken from Psalm 46:10 (NASB); I John 3;2
Pray for Donna, as she should be in surgery this morning!
