Sitting at My Father's Feet

Darling Virtuous Daughters,
   
Today I want to share with you a quick thought that is near and dear to my heart. Recently the Lord has drawn my heart close to Him and has called me to sit at His feet. I sometimes see myself as a princess and my Father is the King. Even though I am the princess of a great and mighty King, many things trouble me. Yet my loving, kind, and gentle Father calls me to His throne to sit at His feet. Sometimes I just talk to Him and tell Him my cares and other times I cry upon His knees. Although my problems are trivial compared to the greater problems in His kingdom, He never forbids me to come to Him. And He lovingly welcomes me with outstretched arms, patiently listening.

As I speak to Him, I look behind me and around me, pointing to all of my worries and fears. When I am done telling Him all of my cares, I look into His face. Almost immediately, my cares melt away as though they were never there. I realize that I have been looking around me and not to my King. As He speaks His words of wisdom to me, I realize that I do not have a care in the world, because my Father is the King of Kings and the great I AM.
               
​So, dear princesses, next time you are troubled about anything in your life, go and sit at your Father’s feet. He always has time for you, always. And remember, do not look behind you or around you, look into your Father’s face.
