MAKE ROOM FOR THE SAVIOR

How is Your Devotional Life?

Like the author of our study, my temptation has been disciplines of my spiritual life.  Yes, I struggled there for most of my walk because of my MARTHA'S "Busyness" life style.  I thought the more I did the more I would make other people happy and help them, yet I was still not satisfied.  In all that I did, frustration and fear was a great part of my life, and the lover of my soul craved for my attention. 

Women - Sisters how often we feel that we wish our husbands would spend more time with us than he works? 
Truth be told, we long for Him to take time out of his busy schedule to sit with us. A day off from work won't hurt especially weekends.  Sometimes we just want to be hugged close and held gently.
 
Jesus wants that kind of attention with us.  He has some things to say to us that can only be told in quietness and stillness.  Not when we are busy running around meetings, charity and community events, church programs and even bible study group meetings.  These are great but He wants His time alone with you.  Alone time for Him to unfold His will and purpose to you and only you. 

I have come to appreciate that, and what an experience.  It's because of those times with Him you can have these sessions and daily blog.  It's an experience I will  not trade.  I still have difficulties because of many distractions.  But I am more disciplined than I used to be.  And Oh the blessings I have received from those times alone.  Oh there are days I'd like to be all alone with Christ my Lord.....

 

Today's Focus:  MAKE ROOM FOR HIM

Christ wants to spend quality time with you. 
Let's make a place for Him to meet daily. 

You may not have an extra room or space in your home but you can read the creative examples of the women who created a room or place to sit with their Savior every day. 
Some suggestions:  A couch, or chair or spot in a corner
                                 Closet space, extra room, or a room of your home (living room)
                                 Mobile basket where you can go outside or convenient spot
                                 Garden, tree, backyard spot or somewhere quiet away from noise
                                 Other _______________________

Put your bible, journal or devotion, note pad, pen, reading book, anointing oil, candle etc... and make that place special.  I am telling you, I set mine up and it's an atmosphere that is the most serene and inviting.  Just to know that He awaits me there.  The joy we share as we tarry there, NONE other has ever known. 

Go ahead........ SET UP YOUR PLACE TODAY!
Remember God wants to live in your heart.  This is just a meeting place.  Not a place to put Him just for the weekend or for spare time, but to enjoy His presence and rest from busyness.


Remember, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR COMMENTS...... Let's SHARE
