I was sitting and thinking about what to write today when the household dog came and sat on my lap. Sometimes he comes to let you know he wants something, but other times he comes just to hang out and spend time with you. It was the second one this time. Then I thought about how sometimes I should spend more time with God just to spend time with Him, and not just to ask for things.
The Bible talks about how we can have a relationship with God. We can be friends with God, and God is a good Father to us as His children. While we can and should go to friends and family for help when we need it, we also hang out with them just to spend time with them. We can and should do this with God also, and while I do, sometimes I wonder if I do it as often as I should.
Just like spending time with friends and family, if you don’t plan and make that time, you won’t have it. So make it a point to spend time with God just to spend time with Him. It’s quite lovely.
