Have you noticed how much better you feel when it is the first part of spring? The sun is shining and you can go outside with a lighter coat on. Doesn't this bring an extra spring to your step? It does mine. I don't know about you but I get a little depressed in the winter time. I miss the sun shining on me. I miss the green grass and the pretty flowers.
Although, you are probably thinking why would she put Son shine when all I am talking about is sunshine. It is simple. If we go any length of time away from the Son (Jesus), we will get down because we are trying to rely on our own abilities. Which will eventually wear us out. If we stop reading the Bible or praying on regular basis, we miss that closeness. We sometimes can feel there is something wrong but do not want to admit it is because we walked away farther. God doesn't move from us but we move from Him once we stop that interaction time.
It is very important to keep building our relationship with God because like people in our lives if we do not interact with them, we don't have a relationship with them. How can we get to know them, without talking to them and get this "listen to them"? Have you had those few people that talk so much that they don't listen? Some people are so consumed with themselves that they couldn't care less what you are saying all they want to talk about is themselves. Well, it is time that we start listening to God and that requires reading our Bible and praying to Him on a regular basis.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you today to help us grow closer to You and to always have the Son Shine. Help us to listen to what you want us to do so we can bring others to you. We want a close relationship with you. Help us to not miss the many blessings You want in our lives. We can do nothing without you. In Jesus name, amen
