quiet time: the words that causes guilt to rise in your spirit due to a lack of time spent in His Presence.

at least thats what ive come to understand it as.  but yet as i sit here finally having a really genuine quiet time this morning, the guilt that has built up over the last few months of busy-ness suddenly dissipates.  it doesnt dissipate at church….but by me consciously drawing close despite the distractions around me.

June 2nd – My Utmost, For His Highest

“What are you haunted by?  You will say – By nothing, but we are all haunted by something generally by ourselves, or, if we are Christians, by our experience.  The Psalmist says we are to be haunted by God.  The abiding consciousness of the life is to be God, not thinking about Him.  The whole of our life inside and out is to be absolutely haunted by the presence of God.”

So how do we do this? how do we live in a consciousness that is very much God consumed and full?  i believe it comes from being in His Word, His Spirit, and His Love.  we can not escape our mission in this life if we abide in Him.
