Heart To Heart

Tonight I opened my Bible App up to this verse image. 

This tugged at my heart because I have been hearing the pull and yearning of God calling me back to himself. I so desire to pour more of myself and my time into Jesus. Yet, I see how I fill my time with tasks and entertainment day after day. I see myself struggling to give God my time and full attention. Yet my desire for intimacy with my creator increases, eventually this desire does pull me into Jesus and his word. I’m thankful for that. Today for the first time in awhile I opened up His words, the words of my God and spent a little time with him. I’m glad I did that but even that time was interrupted by a phone call. Sometimes I look at everything happening and I look at myself and I feel so imperfect. I feel guilty for not managing my time better, for not being better with my finances, and for not giving God the time that somewhere deep in my heart I truly do want to give him. I just wish I could handle it all perfectly. It’s in these moments I’m so grateful that I know I can give all my imperfections up to God as an offering at his feet. Because I know that laying it all out on the floor at the feet of my savior is the perfect opportunity for me to be saved from it all and made new in Him. Today I’m thankful for the grace and patience of God, I’m also grateful that he deals with us in firm voices so that we/I will actually realize the seriousness and urgency of the season. That is my prayer tonight Lord. Help us all realize the seriousness and urgency of this short season we are in. Help us to use it to our full advantage to pour ourselves wholeheartedly into you and into what you have asked us to do. Father forgive me/us for our shortcomings. We turn from these disgraceful ways and we turn to you with uplifted hands and open hearts and we say come Lord Jesus, have your way. We thank you God for your grace, peace, faithfulness, and transformation. You are our hope on which we stand. In Jesus Name, Amen.
