"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." (Revelation 3:20)
I'm trying to get my quiet time done before I start my paper tonight- because I'm gonna need all the strength I can get from Him to stay up all night.... -_-;
Today I had to back off a little within myself and reevaluate my heart. I asked myself if I did all I could this past week to live a holy life and if I glorified God in all my actions. I feel like I've been so caught up in worrying about how I felt and how I should act and what I should work on- I didn't stop to hear God's voice calling back to me. I've been so busy trying to do this and that for myself and for God- praising Him, complaining to Him, praying to Him, etc- I didn't let him respond. If this was a cartoon, I'd probably look like this little servant girl running back and forth trying to please her master not knowing that He just wants me to be still and talk to me. I think that's how we all are though throughout most of our lives. We always call out to Him- which is good because that's what God wants- but after we seek Him we just ignore His replies and expect Him to just do everything and show us everything. Even the song "Listen to Our Hearts" that has been stuck in my head this past week is all about asking God to listen to US- nothing about us listening to HIM. As much as God loves for us to talk to Him and seek after Him, let's try to listen to His voice for a change. You wouldn't just go up and start venting to your best friend and not let them respond back right?
