Jacqueline R. Mendoza Poet Light Verse

Take Time To Be With Eternal God

How often do you spend time alone?
Time with Eternal God?
Any time resting at all?

Jesus or Father Christ offers wisdom 
To His disciples 
On the importance of taking care of themselves

He knows that if we aren’t taking care of ourselves
We will be of no help to anyone else
Wonder what Jesus or Father Christ thinks about over crowded schedules

Our lack of sleep or rushing
Or lack of prayer
Our obsession with cell phones or social media

We are rarely alone
Even if we are
We are updating, tweeting or texting

We have forgotten that it is essential to disconnect
If we want to truly connect
We were created to need rest and refreshment

That is why on the 7th day Eternal God rested
He wanted us to know, it was not only acceptable
It was advisable

Take time this week to be alone
Take time to be with Eternal God at Church
Take time to rest
