The More I Seek You

The days seem to be going by so quickly these days. Some days, I am positive someone hit the fast forward button….and at the wrong time. I am still trying to organize my time. You see, I was so sure of my priorities…God, family, friends, and work. So why did I often not have a quiet time with God?

A QUIET TIME (in my own words):
A time when God is truly first.
A time when I am 100% focused on Him.
A time when all the worries of the world slip away.
A time when everything else is second.

I do strive to seek Him first, yet many days I fail to ask for guidance, for patience, for forgiveness, or for strength. As always, I am reminded that I cannot do this alone. I need to seek God every day. At the end of 2009, I made a commitment to myself to study God’s word on a weekly basis. Tim bought me a wonderful devotional that I began on January 1st. The book is a 52-week devotional, Into the Word. So far it has been a wonderful spiritual study guide for me. I have discovered something so beautiful over the last few weeks: The more I seek Jesus, the more I find Jesus. The more I find Jesus, the more I love Jesus.

My prayer is that we (you and me) always find a quiet place to go; a place to feel God’s presence, to hear Him speak, to open our hearts, to thank Him, to love Him, and to realize we need Him!


I have made this my song for 2010.
