PUTTING TIME ASIDE

PUTTING TIME ASIDE


Did you ever NOTICE
How INTENTIONAL=Jesus is
How DELIBERATE Jesus is
In departing to be
By himself TO PRAY?


Maybe that that is
Something we NEED to be
DOING too


I try to set ASIDE
An hour every morning
For reading the BIBLE
And praying the ROSARY


And an hour in the
AFTERNOON for writing and typing
MY POEM


“Jesus DEPARTED to the mountain
To PRAY........” Luke 6:12


PUTTING TIME ASIDE for God
And for Jesus


Jesus was constantly
On the MOVE=performing
Various healings for
The never ending crowds


He was FOLOWED as
A great teacher is=
So he rarely had time
For himself


But Jesus KNEW BETTER
He made time alone
To SPEND with his Father


Maybe that is something
We need to BE doing too
PUTTING TIME ASIDE


“There is a TIME
For everything


And a season
For every activity
Under the heavens” Ecclesiastes 3:1


“........so Christ was sacrificed
Once to take away
The sins of many


And he will appear
A second TIME
NOT to bear sin


But to bring salvation
To those
Who are waiting for him” Hebrews 9:28


“He said to them=
'It is not for you
To know the TIMES


Or dates=the Father
Has set
By his own authority'” Acts 1:7


Jesus knew he had
To PUT TIME ASIDE
For the Father
And that is
SOMETHING we need
To know too


He knew he had
To STEP ASIDE
From what was pressing him
And simply be SPENDING
TIME ALONE with the Father


And we need to spend
TIME ALONE=with the Father
And Jesus too=
It is ESSENTIAL
To a HEALTHY spiritual relationship


It will make you feel
EVEN MORE ALIVE
With God and Jesus
IN YOUR SOUL


“But because
Of his great love
For us


God=who is rich in mercy
Made us ALIVE WITH CHRIST
Even when we were dead
In transgressions--------


It is by GRACE
You were saved” Ephesians 2:4-5


We must PUT TIME ASIDE
For God and Jesus
And spend time ALONE
With them


It will ENHANCE and nurture
Your INNER PRAYER LIFE


In the name of Jesus=and our LOVING FATHER=who love us=and want to
SPEND TIME with us
