Me: I wonder where the birds went and why they left Prodigal?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 How should I know?\u00a0 I wasn’t sittin’ on their bedpost.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Maybe we should just pray instead and leave it all for God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa Terkeurst<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We were made for the greatest love story of them all.\u00a0 We were made to fall in love with Jesus.\u00a0 But we can’t fall in love with Jesus while holding him at a distance.\u00a0 We can’t fall in love just by reading factual details about Him.\u00a0 We will only fall in love when we draw close, deepen our understanding of Him, and seek to do life with Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drawing closer to Jesus can only be done alone in quiet.\u00a0 It can’t be done if your schedule is so full that you can’t breath.\u00a0 But you say I am talking about Jesus the whole day.\u00a0 Talking about someone doesn’t establish a relationship.\u00a0 Just stop take 10 minutes right now, just stop and see what God wants to say to your spirit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 Kings 19:5<\/p>\n

And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.<\/p>\n
