God gives quite time...

Today, God gave me quite time. Actually, God gives me quite time every day, sometimes even couple times in one day.

But I am never there to take up the offer.

When God gives me quite time, I misunderstand it and think he was freeing up my time for more work for the next project, for cleaning and should I just be honest... more work.

My God is so wonderful and yet sometimes, mostly all the time I miss out on his Love for me. He gives me so much love and knows me so well, he knows my heart and all my ways. That's why he gives me so much time, to just sit, be at peace, rest.

Today, he knocked on my heart a little louder. I had a moment where I was going, go, going and then all of a sudden everything stopped.

This time, I listened. He put me in a beautiful place all alone. A place where my heart felt happy, I was at rest and it was quite.

This is when I realized, God has done this before. He has done this many of times. But I have never actually stopped and used that time for me to be at rest.

Maybe because He is my wonderful God, He knew today was the day for me to stop and reflect. He knows my sorrows my fears of change and today he answered my call and said "I am here"

My prayer today is this, Lord, open my heart to you. Let me soak up every minute I can of the quite time you give me. Don't give up on me, even if I don't listen the first time, the second time, third and fourth...

God is giving all of us a time of quietness, he gives us a day for it and gives us hours in the week for it. Don't miss out like I have. No work or project and yes, more work is more important then spending some quiet time with the one who knows you best.
