“But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever. I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good.”
Psalm 52: 8-9
We want to be women who are flourishing. But too often, we’re distracted, overly busy, and often depleted. Sometimes we can feel like we are wilting rather than flourishing.
What’s distracting you from being focused on God? He is the Source of our flourishing. Is it the phone? The internet? The mirror? The to-do list? Keeping up with the latest trends? Scrolling through the newsfeed?
What’s keeping you from flourishing, sweet one?
God wants us to let go of the things that deplete our joy, busy our souls, or cause us inner turmoil. Some of those things are unavoidable and that’s okay. There is grace here. There is always grace. But some things we can let go of. Although it’s not easy, when we do let go, we will find more of God.
In our day and age, I think we can be so busy and full of stuff that we are so hungry for God. We can’t seem to find Him sometimes because we are so full inside.
God wants us to be full in a different way – full of His love and presence. He wants us to be so full of Him, that we flourish.
And flourishing takes space – space to know God, space to seek Him, space to hear Him, space to be with Him. And sometimes, it’s hard to make that space for God. But today, let’s see making space for God as an absolute delight.
When you make space for God to take up space in your heart, you will flourish as His daughter.
When you make space for God to take up space in your heart, you will know the peace and joy He offers.
When you make space for God to take up space in your heart, you will be changed from the inside out.
Make space. Battle for space for God today. He’s so worth it. You will find delight as you make space for God.
Make space for Him and know that’s where flourishing begins.
A prayer for your heart: God, You know how I’ve felt too busy and too distracted. Help me set those things aside and make space for You to fully invade my heart. I long to be a woman who is flourishing because her heart is full of God. I choose You over all the things that distract me from you. Help me make space for You. Invade my heart completely.
