Pencil HIM in.

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrews 6:5

I've noticed and had a conviction of the heart lately, that I have not been spending much time with God. I have had A LOT of free time due to my lack of employment sort-of-speak and yet with all this free time, God has not been on my to-do list. God, I apologize for neglecting you, my relationship with you is the most important relationship I will ever have and my lack of commitment and diligence in this matter is both frightening and sad. I've been talking with you on a normal basis, but the sharpening of my knowledge from your word has been at most "unsatisfactory".

This verse above really hit me hard when I read it last night, and after realizing it from others speaking and giving messages around me, I understand that when we want/need something, i.e. a prayer request, miracle, healing. Whatever it is, we need to strengthen our relationship with God more than anything. Our want for something blinds us and puts us in a place where we are unable to see God for what he truly is, our goal.

Try this:

Take your hand as if you are holding something in it (an apple). Raise it up in front of your face so that it blocks a light on your ceiling. The object in your hand represents the thing you want. The light represents God. The whole motion represents how as people we put things so high in front of us that it blinds our view of God in all his glory. We make those "wants" idols, and focus more on them then we do anything else.

Do not waste your time with silly things, but be diligent in your search for the word of God. His love covers all sin, but it is our relationship with him that matters most.

Peace out,
