it’s always interesting hearing something you don’t wanna hear, but you know you have to hear. it’s frustrating, humbling, and can be a little hurtful. this is why i need jesus! haha
here’s a little bit from my QT today:
Spending time with God should never a task or chore. It’s not the next bullet on your to do list or a quick consult when you’re either in distress or looking for answers. Our time with Him is our existence. It’s where we receive instruction, get clarity and direction.
It gives us the opportunity to know Him and become of like mind. We become aligned with His will, His purpose and His plan for our lives. Our time with him teaches us to love unreservedly. It heals the wounds of our past and makes us whole.
His words spoken during our time alone affirms and builds confidence while at the same time demolishing fear and inferiority. It establishes trust so we can undoubtedly know His character and rest boldly in His abilities. It disconnects us from confusion, frustration and our daily emotional roller coasters. It gives us access to His peace and puts us in the calm of it all.
Our time with God exposes our hidden motives, impure hearts, and personal agendas, which help keep us in a place of humility, thereby bringing us all to repentance that we may experience ‘the refreshing from His presence’ (Acts 3:19)
