I love the devotion Jesus Calling by the missionary Sarah Young. Because I have not found the time to blog this week, I am posting Jesus Calling’s July 10th reading:

Relax in My Peaceful Presence. Do not bring performance pressures into our sacred space of communion. When you are with someone you trust completely, you feel free to be yourself. This is one of the joys of true friendship. Though I am Lord of lords and King of kings, I also desire to be your intimate Friend. When you are tense or pretentious in our relationship, I feel hurt. I know the worst about you, but I also see the best in you. I long for you to trust Me enough to be fully yourself with Me. When you are real with Me, I am able to bring out the best in you: the very gifts I have planted in your soul. Relax, and enjoy our friendship.

Based on: Revelation 17:14; John 15:13-15

This devotion hit me hard in the heart. Hope it arrows into your heart, too. I am praying for you… prayers for a great week!
