The best of God is himself

Greetings and blessings for all
We offer the best of our time to the Lord.

And Simon and those who were with him followed him. Gospel of Mark 1: 35-36.

Beloved, the time we spend with God is the most important moment of our life. For this reason, it is vital to choose (in the likeness of Jesus), the time and place, because regularity is a test of our love and the recognition of our priorities.

Therefore, we look for a special place to meet Him.

This special place is simply a separate place. A place where we only hear Him and He can hear us. We often observe that Jesus, when He needed the power of the Father, separated himself to desert places.

But, there was still another secret: "In the morning, very early", He knew how and where to meet the One who renewed his strength and advised him.

Friends, some years ago I heard of some churches that wanted to imitate this example by retiring to a pile to pray. But I want to remember, that more than imitation, it is necessary to take the form of a servant as Jesus always showed it.

Come to the presence of God every day and at the same time, it is a commitment that should appear on the front line of our "Agenda", and if possible, accompanied by a "good Awakening": the Holy Spirit.

Of course, we will find one or another argument to justify some difficulty in faithfully serving 24 hours a day: work, family, rest, etc. But listen: it's not because Jesus got up early, we should do it too! The most important thing is our fidelity: to recognize him as the first and only Lord of our lives.

Our house, our life, must be a permanent Altar, if you want to please.

The idea, to give God the best moment of our days and if possible when we still have our mind rested. A dedicated heart and a fresh mind!

For many it is from the birth of the day, as soon as it leaves its bed. Others do not believe in God before 11 o'clock in the morning, because at midnight they still find themselves in the pleasures of the world ...

But beloved, what counts is dedicating to God the best time of our life and, programming our personal worship as we schedule other, (often) less important commitments. Then we do everything to not miss.

Begin with sweetness and submission. If you have never practiced worship until today, start today: Five minutes. Ten minutes. Half an hour or more ... the important thing is to start while He listens to us.

Begin modestly and cry out for the help of your Spirit.

Find a special place to meet your God. Jesus took this precious care to trust his Father. You will never find: in any other safe refuge to hide. The Psalmist affirmed: He is my high refuge, security well present.

Jesus, in the most painful moments, had not forgotten the love of the Father. In the Gospel of Luke 22: 39-45, we can observe his suffering:

"And going out, he went, as he used to, to the Mount of Olives: and also his disciples followed him." Luke 22:39.

"And, in agony, he prayed more intensely, and his sweat became great drops of blood that ran to the ground." Verse 44.

Jesus chose the Garden of Olives to come to that place to meet the source of life, his refuge: the Father.

Dear ones, what kind of place have you chosen to meet God? In religion? In the lie?

Jesus has the answer to his doubts:

Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. Nobody goes to the Father except through me. Gospel of John 14: 6.

2nd Come to me, all you who are tired and oppressed, and I relieved you. Gospel of Matthew 11:28.

A place without impediment for Jesus to operate. A place apart so as not to be disturbed. A place where you can pray aloud. Always in the same place. Amen.
