After receiving Holy Communion today, I felt so content in the Lord that I could just rest in him and let everything else in the world go by. To show my gratitude, I thought I should do something. We normally thank a good human friend by taking him/er out to dinner or giving him/er a special gift ~ it's the same thinking I had here. Then I heard the Lord say: "Just sin no more and come rest in me. You don't need to do anything else to prove anything to me." I was surprised that the Lord was that easy to please. When I thought about it afterwards, it became clear that all he wants from us is our love and he's content when he receives that. We run away from God because we create our own fictitious fear of him.
