I’ve been following and reading many posts from this blog. Recently, I read this post.
As I read, I knew I was caught. I knew it wasn’t a coincidence that I ran into that post. I knew God was trying to say something to me.
I wake up at 5:30 every morning, since I have things to take care of. I’m tired. It’s dark. And I hate the dark. I don’t feel like getting up.
“Ugh. Great. It’s morning. Seriously?” And instead of thanking God for waking me up so early to praise Him and talk to Him, I complain and whine. But hey, it’s too dark to be up anyhow! Right? Actually, no. It’s never too early to praise Him. It’s never too early to thank Him. It’s never too early to tell Him you love Him.
It’s just an inconvenience to our fleshy I-want-to-do-what-I-want-to-do mindsets.
I’m a child of the King. I’m a daughter of my Heavenly Father. I’m in love with Christ.
Wait… am I really?
I read a book called Before You Meet Prince Charming, and in it the author talks about our relationship with the Lord, and compares it to a couple in love.
I reread that part, over and over.
They love to spend time together. She loves to tell everyone about her guy. And they waste no time to learn more and more about each other. They study each other. They write love letters to each other. When he sends her one, she reads it. Rereads it. Studies it. Memorizes his ever word.
That’s what our relationship should look like with the Lord. If we are truly in love with him, then we should be like a crazy little college girl, truly in love with the man of her dreams. Study His Love Letter He gave to us. Tell Him we love Him. Show Him we love Him. Think about Him ALL the time. Talk about Him ALL the time. Talk to Him ALL the time. Learn about Him ALL the time.
Including early in the morning, when it’s dark, and you’re tired.
Commune with Him like crazy! He is wanting your every moment of attention, and when you are in love, what do you want to do all the time? Think about the person you love.
It’s not wrong to learn and seek the Lord. So, why not do it?
When I wake up in the morning from now on, I want to talk to the Father. I want to thank Him. I want to praise Him. I’m gonna commune with him like CRAZY! Because I am in love with him.
"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple."
Psalm 27:4
My prayer is that He will use this post to encourage and challenge and bless you guys. Thanks for taking time to read.
For the King,
Jazzy
P.S. Hey, you guys... I forgot to do my homework for my blog(about the surprise), and I might not post it today-- maybe. There's a chance I might do it all today, and post it later on! The rest of the week I'll be busy, so maybe Saturday or Sunday. Maybe. :) Please have patience with me. School is a blessing, but mostly a curse. JK :P
