A Willing Heart

Being willing to allow God’s Holy Spirit to direct and lead you is contrary to what we are taught. Growing up we are told we will need to take care of ourselves someday. That we need to take charge of what we do. No one else will if we don’t – but God. But God hovers close to us. He is only a whisper away. He waits for us to let Him gather us under His wings. He wants to comfort us, lead us, hold us close. Will you allow Him to do so or will you continue to hold Him at arms length. Repeating I got this Lord, continuing with your own attempts to do it yourself. Even as you help others. Will you be willing to listen to your Heavenly Father? Being intimate with Him is part of our need, our longing, yearning to be apart of something bigger than ourselves. Will you let the Holy Spirit in, let Him lead you?

We need to love and be loved. That’s what we were created for , we were created to love. We need to belong because we were created to belong. We were created for intimacy it is what we ultimately crave. With His fierce love He longs to satisfy our deepest longings.

2 Corinthians 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.

Spending Time with Your Children

Time well Spent

Spend time with your children. Taking time to share yourself is one of the hardest things to do. Parenting takes sacrifices: your time, energy and yourself. As a parent we need to take time for our children. Your children are a gift from God and are ours only for a fleeting moment. Find something you love and share it with them. Make up stories and games that will make memories they will never forget. Plant seeds of love, joy and happiness. Water and tend to the garden of lives that you were blessed with. Remember it is the quality of time you spend and not the quantity of time spent that matters most. Children act out when they need you and your attention. When your time is short talk with them and plan to do it later. Keep your promise. Stick to it! Do not back out! Remember time spent with your children is priceless!

“Behold children are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward.” Ps. 127:3
