Warm Comfort
Do you ever think of God as a hot cup of coffee? Or tea? What about hot chocolate? Think about it. It's one of the only quiet, peaceful, and satisfying moments of your day. When you take a sip of your warm drink, it's a source of comfort, like a hug! So is Jesus.
I find that the couple minutes, the few moments, the short time I'm able to have with God in the morning is so sweet, so calming, so comfortable! Too often we think of God as a hard judge when we should be thinking of Him more as our Comforter. Our ever-present help in times of trouble.
You can go to God with anything and He will 100% understand what we are dealing with. His heart breaks when He sees us down, upset, broken. He weeps with us. He's also quietly whispering His truths and words of affirmation to us, however, more often than not, our minds are filled with too much self-pity, judgement, and STUFF to hear Him.
Let's calm down. Let's take a moment to focus our minds on our Comforter. Let's breathe. He wants for us to feel whole in His presence, to feel comfortable. Like drinking our warm, smooth, delicious cup of coffee. Or tea. What about hot chocolate?
