Quality Time With Jesus
We are so important for one another. I am an ambivert, meaning I go back and forth between being and extrovert and an introvert. I get my energy from being alone, not being with others. However, quality time is one of my strongest love languages. Being with people is hard for me, and I prefer to do it one or two at a time when I do get together with others. All of that said, we need each other. We need our relationships and conversations to help us along the journey. I find that I gain so much when I spend time with someone I love. I am rejuvenated and energized by the personal interaction. I find the same to be true when I spend time with Jesus. It seems harder because He doesn't seem to have a dialogue with us. In reality, we don't know how to have a dialogue with Him. It takes time to get to know Jesus well enough that you can sit quietly, listen, and know when He is speaking to you. It is hard to give him as much time as that relationship really needs. We are in a society of quick relationships through social media and texting. My challenge is to make the time it takes to get to know Jesus, so that I can have personal interactions with him and be rejuvenated and energized through my quality time with him. I will still spend time with my friends and family, of course, but I need to spend more time with Jesus.
