It begins early one
morning. You awake with peaceful excitement as you contemplate the day ahead. A
day filled with anticipation. You bask in the joy of the time you will spend
and share.
Life has been busy for
both of you. You haven’t seen him for a while. As
you prepare to leave the house, there is no worry, no fear – only the warm glow
of trust formed over time. A relationship has been formed with building blocks
of mutual sharing, genuine listening marked by care, no masks, and the
certainty of being “real” with one another. You can hardly wait!
And the day begins with
your best friend!
When was the last time
you hung out with the best Friend you will ever have - Jesus?
You embrace in the
moment of your meeting. You both tingle with the excitement of this special
day. Time spent with a trusted, honored Friend, in Whom there is no fear, Who
genuinely listens, and with Whom there is mutual sharing. You got rid of your
mask a long time ago when you opened your heart to Him, and the relationship
has deepened since that moment. You pour out your life in its joys and sorrows,
in its fears and concerns, in its anticipations and hopes. You ask your beloved
Friend His opinion. You really want to know. You hang onto His every word.
And He
shares of Himself with you, not only in response to you, but with the substance
of what is on His heart. You listen with
every part of your being. He opens His heart wide. He really lets you in, and
you want to understand His every word with a care that is without limits. You
spend a day where time ceases to be.
***
Oh, yes, life is busy,
and so often, we don’t have these kinds of days. We have to make them happen or
else they won’t happen.
When was the last time
you just hung-out with Jesus, sharing this kind of day? If not a day, an hour?
A half-hour of quality time? 15 minutes?
Jesus is always there;
always present – no special appointment necessary, just your desire to hang
with Him. Give Him a call. He will answer. Mark your calendar. Plan to show up –
no cancellations!
Try it! Spend time with
the best Friend you will ever have. You will not be disappointed.
~Amen~
