I often hear, “I would, but I just don’t have time.” Could it be that we really do have time, that we make time for what is important to us? If it isn’t important enough to us, we don’t make the time, therefore we don’t have the time to do it.
This summer, the weight loss competition was very important to me, so I made the time for it. Unfortunately, at times it became too high on the priority list. Sometimes, I would use it as an excuse to not have the time for something else. That was wrong. I was saying it isn’t important enough to me. My Bible reading time took a back seat…and as a result, my relationship with God suffered. I have repented and asked God for forgiveness. And you know what? My God is rich in mercy! He loves me and forgives me. He extends His grace and mercy! This morning I was reminded of my favorite hymn, “Great is Thy Faithfulness”. Singing the song, even just saying the words makes me cry. I think of how very faithful God is and how so many times I blow it. Yet, He still loves me…He still desires fellowship with me. Oh wow! How humbling.
God is so good. I am so thankful that I am important to Him. And so are YOU!
