In the pamphlet, "My Heart - Christ's Home", Robert Boyd Munger is talking about how he was spending time in the morning's with Jesus in the living room. He had been missing the daily time and hurrying in the mornings. One morning he saw Jesus in there waiting and he asked Jesus if He had been there all along. Then Jesus explaned:
"The trouble is that you have been thinking of the quiet time, of Bible study and prayer, as a means for your own spiritual growth. This is true, but you have forgotten that this time means something to me also. Remember, I love you. At a great cost I have redeemed you. I value your fellowship. Just to have you look up into my face warms my heart. Don't neglect this hour if only for my sake. Whether or not you want to be with me, remember I want to be with you. I really love you!"

I know this is how the Lord feels and that I really need to spend more time with Him. Yet, He has been on the back burner. I need to move Him up to the front and make Him my top priority. I have in some ways, like with my convictions. Yet I haven't with my time. I continually put people as more important in my schedule. I know that there are technically 2 front burners on the stove, but God needs to be on both. Lord help me make you more important in my life. Help me stand up for You and the things You desire for me to do. They are important and I need to make the things important to You important to me. Thank You for your faithfulness to me.
