Time Alone

Time alone, and not alone time. What do I mean? I am talking of the time that we spend alone with the Lord. Do you do it often? I know that I don't do it often enough. I take the next few words from a devotional by Daily Disciples.

Only Jesus can fill our cups, and only Jesus can love us in the way that brings rest and peace to our souls. After knowing what it is to have true fellowship with the Lord, nothing (and no one) can take His place. At times we may feel empty, this emptiness is a result of not finding time to be alone with Him.

Frequently in the Bible, Jesus spent time alone with His Father. He knew that He needed that uninterrupted time alone in prayer and fellowship. If Jesus needed time alone with God, how much more do we? The Lord promises that in His presence is fullness of joy. Having experienced that joy, we long for quality time alone with Him. Once we have the love of the Lord, we know that nothing else feels so right!

Ask the Lord to help you find time every day to be alone with Him. He hears our prayers and He desires to have fellowship with us. Jesus has made a way for us to come to Him freely. He will make a way for us to walk with Him daily if we are truly seeking Him.

I will be doing this very thing as much as possible! I try to spend time alone with the Lord on my way to school in Erie everyday. He has touched and changed my life when I am seeking His presence beside me in the car! God Bless!
