Loving this little sip of nourishment

This was the Jesus Calling devotional for July 6 and I am still feeding off it:

I am your Father-God.  Listen to Me!  Learn what it means to be a child of the everlasting King.  Your richest duty is devotion to Me.  This duty is such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury.  You tend to feel guilty about pushing back the boundaries of your life to make space for time alone with Me.  The world is waiting to squeeze you into its mold and to crowd out time devoted to Me.  The ways of the world have also warped your conscience, which punishes you for doing the very thing that pleases Me most: Seeking My Face.  Listen to Me above the clamor of voices trying to distract you.  Ask My Spirit to control your mind, for He and I work in perfect harmony.  Be still and attentive to My Presence.  You are on holy ground.

Ahhh, how to have more Mary, less Martha this summer vacation…

Blessings, Dear Friends, as you seek.
