Running to Jesus

Posted bynancyhamiltonsturmPosted inA word of prayer, An Encouraging WordTags:, ,

You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.

— Augustine of Hippo

Are you rejoicing in His fire and sweetness? Are you running toward your Lord and Savior?

Lord, may we run toward You, rejoicing in Your presence. Fill us with Your fire, Your sweetness, and Your joy. Let us love others fully, with Your fire and sweetness, that they, too, may know Your joy.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
