Happy Friday; have a great weekend!

Today's entry from Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence". As readers know, Young writes as if Jesus is talking to us, backed up by Bible verses from which her writings are taken:


"I am pleased with you, My Child. Allow yourself to become fully aware of My pleasure shining upon you. You don't have to perform well in order to receive My Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from Me, toward some sort Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry:  worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don't measure up to your expectations.

"Shift your focus from your performance to My radiant Presence. The Light of My Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank Me for everything; trust in Me at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to My Loving Presence."


~ Ephesians 2:8-9; Ephesians 3:16-19; Psalm 62:8
