Aloneness many times is a gift. It helps us confront our very selves. It digs into all the corners we would prefer not to go. A day at the beach, just watching the waves; a walk in the garden; a morning at the spa; a night alone in the woods; a room in the house; a corner in your office; a chair; a spot in the park; wherever you get it or however you create it, you need time alone with God. The sound of rushing waves, the melody of the birds, the soft music at the spa or the fluttering of wings in the garden; the beautiful flowers, the colourful butterfly, all point us to the reality of a higher being.
Jesus took time out, look what came out of it: He saved the whole world. Take time to be alone with God, ask all the questions, the disciples did, and they got answers, keys to life's mysteries. Wrestle like Jacob; you might get a change of name. We discover things when we come apart. God promised we would find Him when we seek Him with all our heart. You will never really know the person of Jesus except you come up close and personal.
Picture this; there is the stuff that you own that you keep in secret places. Not every visitor to your house knows they exist, let alone where they are kept. You only allow a privileged few access to your hidden treasures. Today, please take time out to be alone with God. Some of us need a friend, the type that only Jesus can be. Take time out to be with Him alone. Better still; give Him a room, a spot in your personal space and watch transformations take place.
Jesus at the garden wished the cup would pass. He did not get that request, but He got you and I. Hurry, my beloved, get alone with your maker.
