"The one part is our Saviour and our salvation. This blessed part is open and clear and fair and light, and plenteous,—for all mankind that is of good will, and shall be, is comprehended in this part.... In this willeth our Lord that we be occupied, joying in Him; for He enjoyeth in us."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 30)
In our daily lives we can be concerned and worried about many things, and we can wonder and be confused about many things. But God says we do not need to think about these confusing or stressful things, or try to figure them out. We can just think about Christ and His wonderful work that saved us! The one necessary thing is Christ and we can just enjoy Him and all the wonderful freedom, light, beauty and joy that He is to us right now. God wants us to be occupied with Christ, enjoying all He is and all His blessings that He has already showered on us. We are in such a beautiful place in union with Him right now - a place that is 'open and clear and fair and light and plenteous.' Nothing is missing or lacking from that place we have in Him, tucked into His arms! It's a place of joy, wholeness, peace, freedom, rest, and belonging. He is all we have ever needed and all we've longed for. We can just rest in His arms and think of Him, looking into His eyes and just being held in His gaze, just being loved right now. He is taking care of all the worries, concerns and cares. He is the solution to all the problems and confusions. He is handling it so we don't have to do a thing but rest right here in His arms and listen as He sings lullabies over us.
"You are my secret hideout! You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of rescue!"
Psalm 32:7 (CEB)
A Prayer: I feel so safe and secure here in Your arms. Thank You for taking care of all that concerns me today, so I can just rest with You!
