Where do you live from?

I like to think that during my personal time with the Lord, I crawl up in his lap and just let him hold me. Many mornings that’s how I feel and other mornings I don’t. Not sure how to reconcile that. I do believe that’s 100% on me though. What is my mindset when I step into my personal time / meditation with Jesus.

I heard a statement, do you crawl up in his lap? Or do you live from his lap? Personally it’s my opinion that you have to crawl up into his lap first. What happens when something bad happens? Do you react from living from his lap? I think you could also call that a place of rest. Am I in a place of rest everyday all day? I can honestly say for me I’m not completely sure that I live from his lap / rest all day long. I want to though!

I truly believe that love and forgiveness come from a place of rest. When you feel and understand God’s forgiveness for you then you can become forgiveness for others. When you understand and feel God’s love for you then you can be love to others.

Hebrews 4.10 God’s rest celebrates his finished work; whoever enters into God’s rest immediately abandons his own efforts to improve what God has already perfected. (The language of the law is “do;” the language of grace is “done.”) 11 Let us therefore be 1prompt to understand and fully appropriate that rest and not fall again into the same trap that snared Israel in 2unbelief. (The word, 1spoudatzo, from spoude, I translated prompt, not labor; this word also reminds of the English word, speed; immediately! The word, 2apeitheia [apathy] from a as a negative particle, not; and peitho, convince; is often, wrongly translated, disobedience.) The Mirror translation
