Spend Some Time With Him

Lord,
Here I am, I’m putting my busy life aside and for these next few moments I’m spending time with you.
Lord,
So many times I’m distracted with problems in my life. I forget that if I would just take the time to come to you, that all these things that are bothering me wouldn’t seem so big at all.
And Lord,
I know you’re never too busy when I need to chat with you…You always give me your full attention, you don’t interrupt me when I ramble on and on. You’re patient and kind and loving and I always feel so peaceful when we are together, even when I tell you all about my troubles and things that are going on in the world. As if you didn’t know already. You listen with a heart of compassion. You never judge me. Sometimes scold me when I get out of line. But that’s what a caring Father does with his children. Not to punish but to correct in a way that gets my attention.
Lord,
It seems people don’t talk to you much anymore. They say they can do it themselves. But Lord, this world is in a terrible mess, them “doing it” themselves isn’t working out so good. What’s happened Lord to this world? When I was growing up people helped each other. They were respectful and thankful and polite to each other for the most part. Oh I know there’s always been wars and trouble in the world. But it sure looks worse now. The news is flooded with people killing people. There’s no respect for others or for you LORD.
Oh I know you still have many who live for you and try to do right. And I know you are still on your throne and are in control of everything. I suppose we are living in the last days and that we should just keep on spending time with you. And maybe sometimes I need to be quite and let you speak to me. That’s what I’ll do Lord.
“Child, I’ve been listening to you all your life. No I never get tired or weary. I wait and I wait. That’s called patience. I hear your heart and I see your actions and I know you are mine. You don’t need to worry. You don’t need to be afraid. For yes, I am, with you. I see the world and all the chaos. I see pain and wars and death. I see man corrupting themselves and others. And I just wait. I intervene in many instances. I dispatch my angels where needed. I protect and orchestrate in the affairs of government and countries. Believe me I am not one to close my eyes to what concerns mine. I sent my son, and I sent my Holy Spirit into the world. I know exactly what I’m doing. All you need to know and do is trust me. Trust me child. Come to me and chat all the time, for it is my pleasure when you do. I smile and I’m helping in every, single, aspect of your life and in the lives of people in the world. I didn’t send my son to kill. I sent my son so that all could have life. There is an enemy who opposes and he sends destruction and chaos and death. But he also knows his time is short. You have all that is needed to overcome and survive. But many don’t put it into practice. I am more than words in a book. I am more than the wind or the universe. I am more than mere man…I AM! Those who are wise will seek me. Those who are mine will do what I’ve asked. And in the end, all will be as it should be. Keep loving, keep serving, keep watch. Keep praying, keep seeking and knocking and you will find me. For I Am always here. ~Your Loving, Papa God…

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
