Making Space Part Eleven of Twelve: Space For Sons and Daughters

Part Eleven of Twelve: Space For Sons and Daughters 

Or maybe you say, “I am a believer, and I already made space for God, a year ago, or twenty years ago. Isn't that good enough?” I could ask this of myself. I did ask this of myself. My answer to myself and to you is, “Where have you made space in this day?”

We can eat the stale bread of yesterday, but it will not satisfy. We can try to live in the experiences of the past, but it will bring bitterness to the soul and cause deep longing in our spirit.

Luke said, "Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him." Luke 20:38

We don't fall madly in love and get married just to say to our spouse, “Well, I'm telling you today I love you. Don't expect me to say it again. And I sure don't want to hear you tell me that you love me either.” 

Obviously not, rather we say, “I love you”, in a million little whispers over a lifetime. We say it in thousands of self-sacrificing actions because our hearts melt for that guy or that girl.

In the same way, we are to be filled with the Spirit of God. That actually means being continually filled with the Spirit of God. To do this we've got to get the junk out of the way. 

It's this choice we make before we even open our eyes each morning. We choose to make space or to fill space. I know we live busy lives. But what we love most is what we will fill our space with.

So I ask myself again and again, “Have I left my first love?” If but for a moment?
