How do you spend your time?

Umm..so i actually typed this blog about a week or so ago, and i just now found it in my drafts :) but yeah...here are some of my thoughts.

Okay...so, the other day, i started thinking about how seldom i really spend time with God. Although He is willing to listen to our prayers and our requests 24 hours a day, we can hardly get 5 minutes in just to thank Him for all He's done. I mean, God NEVER gets tired of listening to us and caring for us and fighting for us. Yet, most days we go WITHOUT talking to Him or thanking Him for something as simple as your next breath. I just wonder why it's so hard for us to spend a very small amount of time when He gives us ALL of His time every day. Yes...He IS perfect, and He chooses to spend His time on us each day. But why do we have to make it seem like it's SO hard to just spend a few minutes with Him each day? HE is thankful for that small amount of our time....we should be more than thankful for all of His.



I read this in Crazy Love today..."When we put it plainly like this--as a direct choice between God and our stuff--most of us hope we would choose God. But we need to realize how we spend our time, what our money goes toward, and where we invest our energy is equivalent to choosing God or rejecting Him. How could we think even for a second that something on this puny little earth compares to the Creator and Sustainer and Savior of it all?"



So...i'm going to try to be wiser about the way i spend my time because i want My Father to know how much i truly love Him. He is the most important thing in my life, and i would be NOTHING without Him.
