It’s sad how many people are content to let life pass them by. Sure, they may be busy keeping up or trying to get ahead, and they may fill every spare moment with activities that they hope will be relaxing and enjoyable, but where is all that busy activity taking them? When do they really live? The secret to getting the most out of life is living close to Me and My Word.
I don’t mean that you should hide away and give yourself solely to quiet reflection and study; I mean that you should try to include Me in your daily activities and apply My Word to whatever you’re doing. If you do that, your life will take on new meaning and depth. You will not only be much happier and more fulfilled, but you will brighten the lives of those around you as you reflect My love and the light of My Word in all you do.
It starts by your making a habit of taking a few quiet minutes at the start of every day for prayer and reading My Word. Then take what I have taught you in the “classroom” and apply it throughout the day. If you don’t know how, just shoot up a quick prayer and I will show you. On the job, running errands, or relaxing with family and friends, I can make you a blessing to others and bless you in the process. Life will become richer and more meaningful as I help you make more time for the most interesting and rewarding thing I have going—people.
—Jesus
