Spending time with God

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119 : 105

Spending time with God is so refreshing. Spending time with God is like a bubbling brook...it refreshes, brings energy, joy, strength, wisdom and it clears away dirt and debris leaving clear, fresh, alive water. I feel when I don't have time( or don't make time)for God that the water can stay stagnant, it becomes old . All I need to do is turn on the tap of God to get the water running again and it clears out all the stagnant water and fresh clean water comes back. Does it all go back to Mark 4 about keeping our land fertile?
Lord, help me to be more diligent. Help me to be tuned into you---to be alive and fresh, satisfied and at the same time hungry for more of you!!

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord.....
They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with
roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees
are not bothered by the heat or worried by long
months of drought. Their leaves stay green,
and they go right on producing delicious fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8

Jack Frost,a well-known speaker on "The Father's Love" talks about allowing God to cleanse us at the end of every day. Frost describes cleansing as standing under the light of God which falls over us like a shower , washing off the filth of sin from the world and our own evil thoughts/way, and replacing it with his purity. I love that visual, it's easy to imagine.

Thank you for your comments. Vida Loka, I can understand where you are at. But I don't feel that love is a feeling, it is also a choice. A choice to love when the feelings aren't as strong. Feelings can change, come and go, that is why when you love someone you commit to them, it's a choice. I wouldn't feel bad about your situation, it's normal. But as you continue to love by choice the feelings will return again. All the best, and please feel free to stop by anytime.
