Meet with me.

As I was looking through John 17:6-18 today, I was reminded of a really cool opportunity we had this summer while on a mission trip to Baton Rouge, LA. During the trip we had what the group called a "concert of prayer." We walked in to a sanctuary with candles lit, music playing in the background, and we were silent. During the time we were given some things to think about while praying and singing worship songs, listening to scripture being read. We could go to any part of the sanctuary to just try to be us and God. We were there to realize he was there to meet with us. He did...And it was awesome and moving.

While Jesus was on Earth he prayed to His Father in Heaven a number of things that were meant to encourage us, and as Jesus says, "that we may have the full measure of His joy within us." They joy we felt and knew when we had that concert of prayer is meant for us to know all the time. It is not about the feeling, but it is about the action that leads to that emotion, the act of meeting with God.

Use this time now to meet with God, He is already here, ready to meet with you, but put some time aside to spend some time with your Father, your Creator, your Savior. It's time to listen to Him saying, "meet with ME."
