Today I realized how important it is to guard our time with God. I have been blessed these last few weeks as God has gently drawn me closer to Him. But this morning, my first thoughts were not of Him and I did not pray about the day or lay gratefully in His Presence. In only a few minutes, however, I realized I was not at peace and I was missing something; His Presence.
He spoke to me at the beginning of Christmas telling me that He wants to be close to us as possible. This is why He speaks in a still, quiet Voice. In order to hear Him, we need to draw close to Him. At the time I was overwhelmed with His love. It was amazing to me that God choose to remain quiet so that I would be forced to come close just so that He could sweep me up in His arms and hold me tightly :) I smile even now, thinking about it.
So that said, I've had a wonderful time with Him as I've drawn close. But the last few days I haven't been drawing as close, yet still going to Him. But it didn't take long before my thoughts started to become distracted by other things. So in short I say: guard your time with Him, because there are many other things and Voices which would love to have your mind and heart.
