Love Him

        Friday's is the day where we contend for the ending of abortion in the prayer room.  I would dare say this is week after week the most intense night we have in the prayer room.  Friday's are our sabbath so we only end up spending an hour and 45 minutes in the prayer room; every time it ends up feeling like 15 minutes!
        Today was no exception!  Within minutes of you engaging your heart and mind you can feel how powerfully the Holy Spirit is moving and stirring peoples heart's towards the end of millions of babies being murdered in America.  (Of course I include lot's of prayer directed towards Canada:)
        I love intercession!  When I feel an entire room become united to fight for one cause something within me just goes crazy!  There is nowhere else I would rather be and nothing else I would like to be doing.  However today I felt the Lord lightly tugging on the reigns of my heart and mind.  He was beckoning my heart to draw near to him, that I would simply enjoy being enjoyed by him during this time instead of interceding.  Man I look at what all ran through my head in that moment and I feel sick.  I told Jesus how ending abortion was so much more important and how we could just be with each other latter.  Well the Lord has blessed me with a very sensitive spirit and within thirty minutes I confessed my actions and turned to sit down, and simply meet with Jesus.  He just held me and spoke over me my value, worth and beauty.  Who would refuse that?  Who would turn their back on the King of the world longing to simply be with us.
        How often do we do this?  How often do we go to work early instead of spending an extra hour or two with the Lord.  Clearly feeding our families is more important then simply being with Jesus!  How often do we take up teaching that extra Sunday School class or mentoring a few more girls fully knowing this will take up the time we usually reserve for being enjoyed by God.  Priorities people!!  If I waste myself doing what my flesh desires, no matter how 'good', 'holy' or 'just' it is we are denying ourselves fullness of life.  God originally created us to simply be loved by him and to love him with all that we are.  I will strive to sit at Jesus' feet first and foremost and count all else as lost.  What's the point of being a passionate intercessor who lacks being enjoyed by Christ.  What's the point of being the most successful business man who knows nothing of his value when he sits at Jesus' feet.  Let's pursue this together!  TO COUNT ALL ELSE LOST BUT TO SIT AT JESUS' FEET!!
