One thing that really keeps me connected with my Heavenly Father is the amount of time I spend communicating with Him
Full transparency: Iโve struggled opening up or reading my Bible this summer. Now, of course, it was opened a few times for church, camps, etc., but itโs not entirely the same as intentionally opening the Bible for yourself and spending that personal time with God
If I wanted to make excuses, I could say, โoh this summer was BUSY,โ or โI worked overnight shift, so Iโm exhausted,โ (now, to be real, I was๐คฃ) or โPrepping for stage has been mentally and physically exhausting.โ Overall, I donโt want those things to become excuses for neglecting my time with Him
Reading the Bible is another form of intimacy with our Father. We read His word so we can strengthen our spirits, renew our minds, and receive wisdom and guidance in areas we struggle or fall short
Tonight, as I was getting ready for bed.. my heart pushed me to pull out of my Bible and read a chapter or two. Iโm so glad I did ๐ฅน. I feel even more connected to my Father than I did this morning
I just want to leave you with this - as followers of Christ, we will fall short. There will be seasons when we arenโt consistent as we should be. But falling doesnโt mean we have to stay down.
Just like the scripture says:
Proverbsโฌ โญ24โฌ:โญ16โฌ โญNKJVโฌโฌ
โFor a righteous man may fall seven times and rise againโฆโ WE WILL RISE AGAIN! ๐๐พ
Thank you for reading to the end ๐ค
Goodnight! God bless ๐๐พ๐ค
