Do you have seasons in your life when you feel like you are missing doing something that you love to do? It may be for a day, a week, a true season of the year. Some people actually may be missing out on that thing they love to do for years. Is it because of priorities not right, time gets busy, or lack of encouragement? Well, whatever your case may be, my little season was last week.
I love spending my time with God and journaling about what He has to share with me. Last week was just one of those weeks when time, tiredness, and busyness from work got to me. Oh, I chatted with My Jesus every day and throughout each day. I read my verse-of-the-day. I even read my Sunday school lesson. So, I didn’t miss out on Him, I just missed writing and sharing what I learned from God.
Yesterday in worship service, I just broke down in tears when we were singing “Lord, I Need You”. The melody was calming and poignant. Part of the song goes like this: “Lord, I need You, oh, I need You. Every hour I need You. My one defense, my righteousness. Oh God, how I need You.” I was longing for some quality journal time with my Savior.
Last night before I went to bed, I just told myself that HE is my priority and I just may need to get rise and shine a little earlier to do what I love doing, or just stop getting so “busy” in the mornings that I fill my routine with the little things in life that truly do not matter if they are done that morning or not.
So here I am, listening to God and sharing what He has put on my heart.
I want to encourage you to fall down on your knees and ask God to speak to you. To revel Himself to you in a way that is so evident, that you cannot deny Him or His presence. I pray that what you desire is what He desires for you. I pray that you will make Him that first priority in your life and spend time with Him. I pray that no matter how busy your may get in life, that you will seek Christ with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
I pray God’s abundant love and blessings for y’all.
Here’s Matt Maher singing “Lord, I need You”. I don’t believe we sang the same exact words (maybe we only sang a couple of verses and a lot of the chorus), but the tune and message is the same.
And, if I haven’t told you lately…Thank you for spending some of your time with me as God speaks to me. I appreciate you, and pray that you grow more in love with Christ each day.
