When your heart longs for things that remain.

A word I have put to my searching-heart lately is 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

God is kind to not give us full permanence, on this side of eternity.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

We work hard with open hands as this keeps us leaning into Him.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

We lean in and do the dance of working the land and resting in sweet surrender of what may come.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

In this life, we are sojourners lifting our gaze and walking with others towards our home in Him.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

This life is not meant to be permanent yet our hearts long for lasting relationships and reliable circumstances.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

We want to sow and grow roots in the natural while God wants us to grow spiritual roots.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

His desires are good desires.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

That is our home, that is our path forward.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

It’s about His kingdom coming and His will being done, on earth as it is in heaven.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣

This encourages me, I hope it encourages you too.⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

Sometimes we gather for nourishment and sometimes we are scattered to nourish.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

Whether you are in a season of scattering seeds or gathering a harvest - abide in the vine & stay rooted in Him, beloved one.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

You belong at His table of communion. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

This is where true nourishment comes from.⁣ My cup overflows when I sit and dine with Him.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

I am right there with you.
