It's amazingly simple, but most of us fail to do it. I know I do. Perhaps the sin after the first one of disobedience was laziness. Not literally, but I know it must be up there somewhere.
I don't often take to time to "get away" with myself, with God, and take to time to discern where I am, what I am feeling and what are my true intentions.
We need to to this, we all know it, but then what about the hours upon hours of Facebook we might miss-- but then we might miss a status update.
Giving God and ourselves just 15 minutes a day could do wonders. And there are different ways to do this-- from journaling to writing poetry to sing songs to listening to worship music to... and here's a novel concept-- reading scripture!
I'm not meaning to sound scathing or sarcastic-- forgive me if I do... I think I'm just acknowledging that I fall short.
My prayer is: Jesus, Occupy My Heart. Take me into Your Time and Timelessness of the Eternal Realm where I can be breathed upon by the Sacred Flame of Your Spirit.
Yes, I need much more time in the woods.
