This week, I am wondering where do you feel most connected to God? That's our question of the week. I have heard some fantastic answers representing all the generations in the Union Family since last Friday when we posted this question on our Social Media pages. I've heard some amazing answers both online and through rich, in-person conversations as well.
For me, it's sitting in my favorite chair in my house when all is quiet. Many of you have shared how being in nature and admiring the beauty of God's creation helps you feel connected to God. Others have shared about feeling connected to God when reading and studying the Bible. Several of you have shared how music helps you connect to God deeply. Others of you find that journaling helps you connect to God.
Brothers and sisters, God longs to connect with us. This week, I encourage you to carve out some time and intentionally seek to connect with him. No matter where or how you choose to do that, know that God is already present with us. He is present wherever we are, just waiting for us to recognize and respond to his presence. He longs to give us rest, comfort, and peace as we sit in his presence. He longs to teach us and lead us as we connect with him. May these words from Matthew’s Gospel, which is also our Bible Book of the Month, help guide our hearts as we seek to connect with Christ this week.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
