I pulled away from God, and I didn't even realize it.When I was writing on this site on a regular basis, I was also spending time with God on a regular basis. Most of this time, more recently, I have been down and out and stuck in bed, not writing, I was not with God as much as I would like to be. But I honestly didn't even realize it. I was falling asleep to tv shows and music and non christian writers, instead of talking to Him, writing about Him, playing guitar for Him, reading about Him. And in this process of pulling away from Him, He pulled away from me--not really of course, but kinda. Let me unpack that.
You see, when I spend time with Him, I have things to write about. He tells me what to write about when we are talking or thinking together. That time that I wasn't spending time with Him, these past couple months or whatever they have been, I have really had nothing to write about, nothing to say. He couldn't tell me anything because I wasn't going to Him...
I guess what I am trying to say is that what they say is true, draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. Don't spend time with Him and He can't spend time with you. Talk to Him and He will talk to you. Write about Him and He will give you more to write about.
Enjoy the posts above--enjoy what He has been telling me as I start to spend time with Him again. And get this, I never spend as much time with Him as I should or could. Imagine what He could tell me to write down for all of us if I did.
Lord,
May you remind me, or help me remember to draw near to You so that You can draw near to me. May I use what energy I have, what strength You give me, for You, and You only, not for me. Amen
Thought For Today:
What does God have on His heart that He wants to tell you? Draw near to Him so you can have something to write about, to share with all of us.
