Time with Jesus.

I am learning a whole lot right now. Especially about myself. But right now what I feel like sharing...is just how much love God has for us.

God has been teaching me about prayer and time with Him lately. and is continueign to teach me. which im very thankful for! I love being taught. But one thing that this morning, and that I'm just being shown right now by God. Is that, we don't HAVE to have our times with Him scheduled. they don't have to be perfect. All that He really cares about, is that we make the time to spend with Him. is that we INVITE Him into our day and into times when it's just us. or even with other people. I am a HUGE believer in time spent alone with God. I personally need a whole lot of it. But i also tend to lack in actually taking the time. I tend to get distracted by too many things..especially tiredness.
But back to the point! Im learning that even when I'm just sitting at my computer, with music on, talking to people, or doing whatever I am doing on the interweb or facebook. Whatever my intentions are. That even here, on my computer...I can embrace God's love and grace for me.
I am learning that i dont have to have a set time of prayer. I just need to take the time. Iv learned I can shower in the mornings before I pray so that I am more awake! I learned i don't have to take the whole hour i set aside for prayer somedays. I learned that i can pray while I am journaling. As im turning my lights out to go to bed. As I'm waking up in the mornings. Ive learned that I can just sit on my floor for ten minutes and that be my prayer time.

Prayer, and time with our Creator comes in more ways than we can even think of. It's jsut a matter of, are we taking that time?! Even if its only 5 minutes of pure aloneness w God one day.
He is with us all the time. He desires for us to invite Him into our lives and into our daily activities. and also to take time out for Him. to just BE with Him and ENJOY Him. its not so much about rules, and about exactly how much time we spend, whether we go short or go longer...its jsut that we are with Him. period. its okay!

He is showing me...that things in my life, how I am...its all just okay! Because of His grace! His love.
and so He continues to teach....
