"... and seek My face..."

Hi TDY! Here we are at Day 5. Something to reflect on:

"Here is my heart, make it Your sanctuary, for Jesus only You."

I know that most of the time, taking time out to spend it with God can be time consuming. In Singapore, it's like kind of a non stop thingy, "Go, go, go..." But you know what, which I think everyone of you already know, IT IS IMPORTANT to spend time with God.

I have to admit that there are times where I only seek God when I'm desperate or when I'm only in need. Someone once said,"Seek Me as if you were desperate all the time and then you won't find yourself desperate as often in reality." It is true. When I constantly find myself in God's presence, I know what to do and desperate situations actually don't seem so desperate anymore because I know that I can rely on the Lord to lead and direct.

God is yearning for us to draw near to Him, to spend time communicating with Him. It doesn't always mean that you have to spend an hour or so, you can do it anywhere and anytime. Keep your communication line between you and God open. Seek Him with all Your heart wherever you are.

John 7:37 "... Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink." Seek Him as though you desperately need water after exercising or on a super hot sunny day. The greatest reward is knowing that the Lord is there with us and that we are who we are, we are where we are because the Lord has blessed us.

Don't let anything stop you from coming before the throne of God. I always imagine myself dancing with God infront of His throne and there in my heart, I feel such love, joy and peace. Come to the throne of God, come to a place where you will never be thirsty again, come and join the heavenly angels adoring and praising the Lord. God is calling us to come back to His heart, to make our hearts a sanctuary for Him.

Love, JJB
