That sweet spot


Don’t you so enjoy just sitting with someone - with no agenda. Loving the sensation of rocking that grand baby, petting that lap dog (or cat), or sitting companionably with spouse or friend. You relish those moments. Please… let it last a little longer… that sweet spot between needing and remembering.

There is a middle ground between the crying, pleading, praying - and the “thank God it’s over”. A place called faith. A place of rest and assurance. That sweet spot where you know, you know, your loving God is up to something good. There is a presence, a real presence sensation.

Don’t be in such a rush to get things over and done.

There is a middle ground, a sweet spot, where faith reigns. Where you know that somehow, things are going to be okay. Deep in your heart you know it. Take hold of this special God-is-here moment.

It’s a great place of rest and release. A cleansing sigh and you are there. We all long for it. And it is available. You can go there anytime. It can happen anytime you are tired of unending prayers of asking, seeking, knocking…

Trusting. Resting. Believing. Knowing.

Are you ready to release it all? And just know the sensation of His presence? I think God enjoys that space in the relationship as well. Not needing and not yet finished and moving on. 

Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see. - Hebrews 11:1 GW

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. TLB

Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you’ve never seen. VOICE

Can you take yourself there? Just together with God in the trusting knowledge of His good and gracious character… no agenda but the sweet surrender to the Almighty.

Find a rocking chair. Or that corner on the couch. Find that sweet spot the Lord longs to provide. And may God bless.
