Quality Time

Jeremiah 31:3

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness.”

These holidays I got quite frustrated with a friend that I so love and don’t often see and was therefore pretty desperate to hang out with, but she was unable to see me, not because she didn’t want to, but just because she had busied her whole holidays up. It wasn’t cool. But it got me thinking.

God so loves me and daily draws me to him, but I tend to busy my life so much that I run out of time to spend with my God. And God stands by, calling me, willing me to come to Him, to acknowledge Him, to speak to Him. But even though I know how worthy He is and how great He is to be with, I let everything else crowd my time to the extent that Jesus becomes something I have to fit into my day among all the other things, instead of all the other things fitting around Jesus. Imagine how that must make Him feel. He died for me, yet I can’t give quality time to Him. So not cool!
