Come, Sit, Stay

We sang this song during worship on Sunday.  In the words of this song I hear the drawing of the Lord, His love washing over a weary and worn out soul.  It puts in my mind a beautiful picture of just sitting down with Jesus by the side of a well and staying there in His presence, getting the rest and restoration one needs so desperately. It's quiet here, the air is fresh, the world feels clean in His presence, the sunshine sparkles and warms.  The troubles of the world, the weight of my heart just fades away as I let His refreshing love flow over me.  My spirit calms, the quiet strength of the Lord brings peace.  

As you listen to this song, allow this picture to fill your mind.  Allow His love to flow into your tired, hurting areas.  Rest in His presence.  Wallow in His care for you.  He desires to bring peace, healing, and revival to your soul.  

Matthew 11:28  The Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  

John 4:13-14  Jesus replied, "Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.  But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.  It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."

Worldly pursuits and pleasures can only bring temporary relief, un-lasting satisfaction, but the water Jesus gives is eternal, it never fades.  He is true fulfillment, the only remedy for the brokenness we experience living in a broken world.  

Lord, I want to sit at your feet, rest in Your presence.  There is nothing more I need or desire.  Wash away my tiredness.  Renew my mind, heart, soul and spirit.  I want, I need to remain in Your presence.  There is no where else I'd rather be.  It's so easy to get lost in the world, caught up in all it's activity and distraction.  Bring me, all of us back to You.  Let us take this refreshing water wherever we go and share it with those around us.  In Jesus Name, I pray.  Amen

Take a few minutes to listen to this song.  Think about sitting with the Lord and let His love wash over you.  Even if you can't "feel" it, believe.  There is never a time when His love doesn't surround us.
