OPEN 24/7

 I heard this statement a couple of days ago and it really caught my attention:

"God has great office hours - OPEN 24/7."

How cool is that !! Love it.

 How comforting to know that we are never alone. We always have a link to God. There is no waiting list or buttons to push to hear a live voice. Gods voice is always available. Be still and listen to the still small voice with in you. Listen to his spirit trying to get your attention. Where do you need a jump start in your life ?

The season of Lent is here. Lent is typically described as a season of fasting, self denial, growth, simplicity. I like something I read " ...it is a time of spiritual spring cleaning and cleaning out those things that hinder  our personal relationship with Jesus.'"

  What is in your way to Gods unlimited office hours ? What hinders you from reaching out to the greatest source of comfort and care ? I know  I am a great excuse maker. I am a master of denial and " too busy " one liners. Been there done that most of my life - yet my soul has always cried out for comfort and care, for an unlimited sense that I am okay and so is life. I have tried to find that peace through things,substances and a lifestyle that ultimately destroyed me.

Now is a good time to really commit to some spiritual and emotional house keeping. No EXCUSES. NO BARGAINING. NO COMPLAINING. NO BLAMING.

It is not about " I am giving up chocolate for Lent "...add to your life. Add Gods "24/7" free office hours to your automatic dial or Favorites List.

KEEP IT SIMPLE - take a few minutes each day and say "Thank you". Take a 5 minutes break from your daily routine and ask God to show you were to clean out the cobwebs and dust that keep you in constant strife. Commit with a trusted friend or family member that you are going to "do some spiritual housecleaning ' and that you are taking up time with God at his office - OPEN 24/7 - no lines, no fees, no deposits, no insurance card needed.

Folks..we are never alone. He always has time for us.Get out your mop,broom,and bucket and get going.
