Not Feeling Spiritual? – Wednesday 24^th May

We are encouraged to spend time alone each day with God. I try to spend half an hour alone with Him first thing every morning, and it’s often the best part of the day.   However, there is a danger that we interpret ‘time alone with God’ as time when we have to stir up feelings of ‘intimacy’ and ‘wistful holiness’. We can feel guilty if we don’t have these feelings. 

 

Cathy is surprised that I can still call someone a close friend that I haven’t seen for years. At work I may not see my boss for weeks, but I know what he expects of me and I receive instructions on specific issues.  I can know what God wants of me without feeling his presence every day.

 

So don’t worry if you are not feeling intimate with Jesus. Just seek and follow his instructions so that next time you meet it will be a cheerful meeting, and not one you are afraid of!

 

“So stay awake and be prepared, because you don’t know the day or hour of my return.” Matthew 25:13

 

God bless
