Time for All - February 9, 2010

Good Tuesday morning! Have you ever been engaged in some task when a little head or hand or paw tries to wriggle its way into your attention or lap? Probably this happens fairly often if you have kids or pets at home. At times, you may feel a bit of irritation. You might tell the offending party, "there just isn't enough room for you right now!" What if God said that to us at any time?

We fear that event, even though it has never happened. We put our own shortcomings on God. Our Father in Heaven has never turned anyone away who sincerely and humbly seeks Him. God also promises through His Son that a rejection will never happen to those who seek salvation in Christ. We can come to God at any time without fear of rejection or of irritating our heavenly Father. This is very different from what happens here on earth. Just as you may be caught at a bad moment by one you love, so you have probably been on the other side of that in your youth or even recently. We just don't always have the time for each other. In my case, I couldn't type over the top of a cat this morning; she will have to wait for a bit while I send out some love to y'all.

I look forward to the time when Jesus is here among us once more and we have time for everyone all the time and anytime they come by. Can you imagine having a big enough lap for all your children at once, even though they are full-grown? How about the time and strength to play with everyone you know for days and days? That time will come for us; and isn't that some great news to share?

Have a wonderful new day in Christ Jesus!
