How much of our time are we truly giving to God? Do you go to the Lord when you’re in need, or do you make time for relationship with God consistently? Are you present, or are you connecting with God halfway?
I am not perfect, and I fall into the bad habit of putting God on the backburner when I feel like I don’t need him, too. This is not the relationship God wants to have with us. It’s time for us to stop doing it haflway with God, so we can open ourselves up to do it with our all!
