Again, I faithfully rise at 5:45 and sit here on the couch for my quiet time. But it feels old and uninspired. How did boredom sneak into my time with God?
I turn completely around, with my knees on the couch, pressing my face against the cold glass of our living room window. A blanket of snow is spread out before me, undisturbed at this early hour. It looks so fresh and new, and changes the look of the landscape in such a beautiful way. I want that same thing for my spirit right now.
I want that for you even more.
I guess intimacy with You is much like any other relationship. It requires intentional effort to avoid boredom. Keeping things fresh and alive calls me to change sometimes; to turn 180 degrees, to sit backwards on a couch, to take in a view through a different window.
