"Ask and it will be given to you!"
Wow, God does not sit still when you ask Him something to His glory!
I was having a very hard time finding some 'quite time' to spend with God. If it's not the kids that distract me away from Him, it's the laundry, or the dishes, or the garden... It's so easily done to put the Most Important One in second place...
For the last week one certain sentence of a song was stuck in my head:
"Jesus, my passion in life is to know You. May all other goals bow down to, this journey of loving You more."
And this truly is my passion! But why is it so hard to 'make' time for God? I praise Him through singing, and by looking at my kids, and looking at nature... BUT I don't take enough time to get to know Him more! And so I asked him with all my heart if He would help me find more time for Him! "Ask and it will be given to you"
Monday morning, 6 am, I am wide awake...
If you know a bit about me, you know that this does NOT happen to me, I have trouble falling asleep at night, and trouble waking up in the morning... I need lots of hours and lots of coffee to wake myself up...
And here I was wide awake... I was afraid to get up, since that could be tragic to the rest of the day... tired mommies are NO fun! So I stayed in bed till 7, and got up to do the regular things...
Tuesday morning, same thing happens again...
Since I'd be gone all day (shopping) I really needed that extra hour, I was SO frustrated... why would this happen???
Wednesday morning, same thing happens another time!
But this time, a still and small voice said: "you needed more time, here it is!"
So I got up and went downstairs to read my Bible! I finally understood! God was giving me more time!! And I so enjoyed my time with Him!!
Jesus, my passion in life is to know You
May all other goals bow down toThis journey of loving You more
Jesus, You’ve showered Your goodness on me
Given Your gifts so freely
But there’s one thing I’m longing for
Hear my heart’s cry
And my prayer for this life
Above all else
Above all else
Above all else
Give me Yourself
Savior, the more that I see Your beauty
The more that I glimpse Your glory
My heart is captured by You
Jesus, You are my greatest treasure
Nothing this world can offer
Could ever compare to You
So, hear my heart’s cry
And my prayer for this life
