"Beside Still Waters"
As I hurried about my day,
consumed with all my plans,
I wanted to bring to completion
all the work of "MY" hands.
Enjoying the prospect of accomplishment
producing what I think will satisfy,
I've created more responsibility
in which now I can't rectify!
Slowly I begin to feel the weight,
the burden of always doing,
As my Heavenly Father sees this,
He begins to do the wooing.
He gently calls to me,
leave your "Martha" behind.
Stop and sit at my feet,
and forget about the daily grind!
He says, "Come and follow Me,
Let Me restore your soul.
Walk with Me beside still waters,
and I will make you whole".
A relationship, not a performance....
this is what He desires.
So He can lead in "His" accomplishments,
keeping me fueled and on fire.
The continuity of just loving Him
is what pleases Him the most.
And in return, He will exceedingly satisfy
for ONLY in this can I boast!

me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still
waters, He restores my soul.................Psalm 23:1-3 KJV
