Jesus Girl


I am finding as I draw closer to Christ I am developing into a Jesus Girl!  I could say Jesus Woman but that sounds so mature, controlled and wound up kind of tight.  In fact, God spoke the word to me "Jesus Girl!"  I believe Jesus Girl is appropriate because of the giddy-childlike love I have for Him.  I don't ever want to outgrow climbing up in His lap or sitting at His feet.  Moreover, I don't want to ever outgrow Him.  I have a yearning and a longing in my heart for Him just like a little girl has for her Father.  I treasure the fact that I need Him and He actually enjoys my dependence upon Him.  It is through my relationship with Him that I find independence from people and that it is sooooo liberating!!

Today in my quiet time He so invitingly invaded my space.  I treasure these times.  I pray that I always posture myself so that He always feels welcome and invited.  You know there are times we attempt to set the atmosphere for Him to come in but for whatever the reason, nothing to do with Him but everything to do with us, He cannot come in and be with us.  I pray today for you and for me that the Lord is always, always welcome into our space (our lives) and that we take full advantage of that opportunity.  When He comes, stay long enough to allow Him to touch you.  Don't get so excited and overwhelmed by His presence that you don't get (receive) what He came for...YOU!  Stay in His presence long enough to allow Him to speak to you, to touch you, to pamper you, to love on you, to spend time with YOU...

Don't you want to be a Jesus Girl with me?  We could actually start a movement!!
