Distant Love

Lately I've been feeling a bit distant from God. Through my own busy schedule, I've somehow found myself disconnected from the One who loves me most.

These last few days I've had it in the back of my mind that I need to take some time, sit down, and get into the presence of the Lord. Yet I haven't made the time.

I can tell the difference. My patience is short. I'm not as friendly as I normally am. I'm not taking the time to show love to others. I'm just living. I'm running here and there getting things done. I'm checking things off of my long list of things to do.

But I'm not feeling fulfilled. I'm not feeling complete. Something is off. And I know exactly what it is.

Me and My Father haven't spent any time together. I haven't allowed Him to pour out His love on me. I haven't been able to lay my burdens down at His feet. My mind has not had a chance to rest in Him.

So, today is my day of rejuvenation. Today is my day to get it right. I'm so thankful that I have a Father who forgives, a Savior who understands, and a Holy Spirit who comforts me through it all.

Maybe you've been going through your own busy period as well.  Perhaps you've been saying that you need to take some time to get in God's presence. Maybe  your spirit is crying out to meet with God too.

Don't let another day pass by without you having some quality time with the Lord. Don't allow your busy schedule to keep you out of the throne room of God. We need visits to His presence to live this life victoriously. We can't stay on track without in-depth conversations with the Lord. With Him we receive guidance, strength, and joy. We can't keep missing out on our portion.

Verse of the Day: Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 1 Chronicles 16:8-11
