I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some additional quiet time with the Lord this week. What an honor and privilege to commune with Him!
I shared with the Father things on my heart, ways I want to strengthen my relationship with Him. Of course, He already knows everything in my heart and everything in my life He wants me to surrender. But I needed to tell Him.
My daily goal is to be more Christ like. I need to study Him and His Word, talk to Him, worship Him, serve Him, praise and glorify Him.
The Savior knows my desire to glorify and praise Him more. I'll feel weighed down with the negativity and drama of people and circumstances. The Father is not negative nor dramatic, and following those fleshly patterns is not Christ like. I pray for the Holy Spirit's great guidance for praising and glorifying the Almighty. I aim to count my many blessings more often! Experiencing a trial or feeling a little down? Sing "Jesus Loves Me!" That will put a smile on your face and overflow the joy in your heart!
As I mentioned recently about spending quality time with the Lord, I need to take more unhurried opportunities talking to Him in prayer. Have you ever fallen asleep while praying at night? Jesus certainly knows what it's like to have people praying for Him, yet they continue to fall asleep.
This Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Resurrection Sunday, focus on the Redeemer rather than the busyness of the world. This is a very sacred and holy time in the life of a follower of Jesus. Treasure your relationship! Give Him praise and glory of His sacrifice for you! Show Him you love Him and that you care about Him! Live the obedient life and plans He has for you!
Luke 14:27 "And whoever does not carry their cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple."
Had it not been for an old rugged cross . . . . . and a man named Jesus.
Matthew 27:45 "From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land."
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Praising my Savior,
Robin
