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 FOLLOWED 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
