Lazaroo – Thursday, February 16, 2012
2 comments, Feb 16, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deepening desire:
“…growing in the knowledge of God…”
(Colossians 1:10)
I love learning new things about the people I love, Jesus!
I want to understand them
hear what they’ve experienced
watch how they respond to success
observe what they do when challenged.
That takes time.
Focus.
It doesn’t just happen.
I have to make it happen.
I have to stay alert to every opportunity
be ready to seize it when an opening occurs.
But even that isn’t enough.
I have to schedule regular times to be with them
sacred sessions set aside to focus solely on them.
If I don’t, my relationship with them won’t grow.
In time, it will shrink
become just a memory of what once was
turn into nothing more than
an acquaintance.
Of all the people who enrich my life
none compares to You.
That being the case…
I think I’ve just established my day’s top priority.
