It is crucial to have fellowship with other believers. We need women of God in our lives to encourage us. We need the body of believers, the church. We need shared prayer and Bible study. These are so important to our growth, and our faith. We also need the internal component of quiet time spent alone with God.
I cannot tell you how much time spent alone with the Lord changes my day, changes my outlook, and strengthens me. We must clear the way to make this communion possible because it is the spring that feeds into the very fountain of our life. When we go for a period of time without that oneness with Jesus, our spring dries up. We run dry.
For all the time that Jesus spent with people, He also made time to get away and be alone. We need also to maintain our private time with the Father...time not only for speaking, but also for listening.
Listening requires quietness. Today, find some time to spend alone with God. Spending time with Him is what will sustain you in the difficult times..but even more than that, your Savior longs to spend time with you. You will be so very blessed..but you will also bless the heart of your Father.
