Do you have your sweet place with God? A place where you meet, in your mind or physically? My sweet place is at the beach. I just love sitting on the shore, walking on the sand or big rocks, and breathing in salty air… it’s where I feel so close to God, more aware and where I can just be still, and listen.
Today, God took me to the beach in my mind today as I spent time with Him. He took me to our sweet place.
He reminded me of the rocky shore I went to in South Africa, and the first time I listened to this song:
Lift up your eyes and see
Heaven is closer than you know
Lift up your voice and sing
Know that My love wont let you go
And I wont forsake you
And my light has surely come
And I’m closer than you know
Closer now than my skin and bones could dare
Breathing deep within me
You are always with me
Closer Than You Know by Hillsong UNITED
I remember in Z.A., how needed this was for me, to have left our house, have walked down the sandy hills, to meet Him on the shore.
It was encouraging and beautiful, seeing how our Father was taking care of us all.
He for sure still is. He is a safe place full of love.
Psalm 84:1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.
He wants to meet with you and I; that we may dwell in the best dwelling place. The best dwelling place? Yes, in Him; with Him.
Psalm 90:1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
You are safe with Him, you are secure, you are fully loved, fully covered. This includes your future too.
Psalm 91:1 He (& She) who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Hello sweet Janice!!
I love your meeting place! He always shows up before we arrive waiting to be with us and catch up and sit awhile with us and ready to listen and encourage our hearts! Praying for you as rest and explore and praise in the waiting in His shadow…soo close to His heart
I LOVE spending time with the Lord at the beach, or just near any body of water, but especially the beach!
SO GOOD!! I love that we get the privilege of serving a God who has torn the veil and has made Himself completely available to us, we need only approach the throne. Thank you for sharing these sweet memories!! Holding you tightly in prayer in this season of CGA! 🙂
