Each week we pass our time doing countless activities with people all around us. We spend time on the computer and watch TV. We hang out with friends, make meals, go to school, clean our houses, and the list goes on.
Lately, I have started to wonder about all that "time" that we have and how we use it.
How much time am I spending with Jesus?
This is a question I have been asking myself a lot.
When I go out with a friend for coffee, I spend at least two hours with them.
I check Facebook and my email every day, if not multiple times a day.
I spend time making meals. I do laundry, clean my house, drive... you get my point.
There are a lot of things that seem to take up my time. So much so, that at times, I run out of time to spend with Jesus.
Yet... He created me, died for me, saved me, loves me, and wants to spend time with me. Wow! Jesus is just waiting for me to open up His Word or to stop for a few moments and think on Him and pray. He is the ONLY one who will never leave me, never fail me, always love me, always forgive me, always pick me up, always give me joy. The more I learn of His greatness, love, grace, wrath, and mercy... the more I want to know about Him. But I have to put time into it.
Real time. Devoted time. Authentic time. More time.
What if? What if I did spend more time? What would my life be like?
