O GOD, YOU ARE MY GOD; EARLY WILL I SEEK YOU; MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU. PSALM 63:1, NKJV GOD SEEMED TO COME TO MY DOOR ONE DAY AND ASK IF I WOULD START WALKING WITH HIM BY GETTING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR PRAYER AND BIBLE READING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO DO. I DRAGGED MY FEET BECAUSE I FOUND I DIDN’T WANT TO SACRIFICE THE EXTRA FEW MINUTES OF SLEEP! HE WAS SO PATIENT AS HE WAITED FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT WASN’T SOMETHING I HAD TO DO; INSTEAD, IT WAS A PERSONAL TIME OF FELLOWSHIP WHERE I COULD GROW IN MY LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. ONE REASON I HAVE MAINTAINED MY WALK WITH GOD IS THAT NO ONE ELSE – NOT MY BELOVED FAMILY OR MY CLOSE AND LOYAL FRIENDS – UNDERSTANDS ME. NO ONE ELSE TRULY KNOWS MY FEARS AND LONGINGS AND HURTS AND DREAMS AND FAILURES. BUT HE SHARES MY FEELINGS, MY LONELINESS. SPENDING TIME WITH GOD AS I “WALK” WITH HIM MEETS NEEDS THAT ARE IN THE DEEPEST PART OF ME. HE IS THE SOLUTION TO THE LONELINESS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. |
