That Quiet Time

You know, these past three weeks have been quite revealing to me. I have seen some things about myself that I didn't like. And, while I wasn't too pleased with what I saw, I wasn't too proud to understand that I had made a mistake. I had started to operate out of my own wisdom, my own knowledge, rather than that of the Holy Spirit. I was a ball of confusion because I was not spending that quiet time in the presence of the Lord.

What is 'that quiet time?'

That quiet time is the time when it is just you and God. It's that time when there are no distractions from everyday life, where you can hear his plans for you.
I was not giving the Lord 'that quiet time', and my life was showing it.
I was changing my positions within my organization so much that I was confusing myself.
I was trying to put a title on myself, put myself in a box, and follow the mold that everyone suggested I be in.
But after spending that much needed 'quiet time', I saw that I am not like anyone else.
I am unique. I can't be put in a box, or try to fit in with the mold.
I realize that my mission on this earth is not to please anyone but God.
And my purpose is the same as any one who believes in God and that he sent his only son to die for us on the cross, and that is to win souls.
So, if you read this, look within your self.
Do you need to spend some of 'that quiet time' with the Lord to discover where you have been lacking in your relationship with him? Do you need some direction in your life?
You will find it during 'that quiet time'.
I love you with the love of Christ,
