Every Moment

This morning I was reminded that God wants us to invite him into every moment in our lives. I don't know about you, but I know for me there are times when I forget that. I need to invite God into my work, my writing, every aspect of my life. God loves to be present with us.

Take a moment, close your eyes and think about the person you love the most in this world.

I am sure someone came to mind. Think about how many resources, time and energy you put into ensuring the strength of that relationship. God wants to be our first love. I love God, but I have to admit that there are some days when I take him for granted in my life and do not put the effort into our relationship that I should. I want God to be part of every aspect of my life and this means I need to ensure I have given him an open invitation. 

My normal response to the challenge set before me this morning would be to beat myself up for letting it slip through the cracks, but this morning I found myself thinking of ways I could change it, remembering that walking with God is a journey not a sprint. I need to make little changes that bring me into closer relationship with God each day, every moment.
