God's Love is needed each day...

Don't allow your call to be greater...than the One Who called you. It's very easy to be so focused on your call...that you don't hear God calling you. This is a common trap-you're so focused on your purpose that you're missing your daily intimate time with your Father. You justify that you talk with Him all day to excuse your absence and not meeting with Him. You do keep Him in the loop; keep Him posted on what you're thinking and ask Him questions throughout the day-but that's not intimacy my friend. Intimacy takes time-it requires all of you being present...not parts of you. You must carve out your schedule and guard the intimate time with your Father. Every seemingly good excuse will try to steal or interfere with this sacred time-but you have to stand firm. Intimacy is all of you-mind, heart, and soul before your Father-to sit giving Him your undivided attention. No distractions; turn your phone off. This time is not for Him...it's for you-God will miss you, as He does all of His children when we put other things before Him. You need this time to be loved by Him. His love balances and restores you, refreshes you physically and emotionally, your spirit is lifted up-He gives you new ideas, flushes out any offensive ways in you, reminds you of your value and purpose, and gives you deeper revelation...and you love Him because He's your Father...and He is love. Thank Him and love Him and enjoy Him. I know there's an urgency-an excitement to carry out His plans-I know you're honored that He's chosen you. But you will not fulfill your call...if you miss Him calling you. He owns time, so you're not going to miss anything-no one can fulfill your call other than you, so don't worry about another person taking it. Be still...and know He is God-Jesus will refresh all of you-flowing His anointing through you that far exceeds your own abilities to fulfill your call. Blessings friend.
