                        Make Time For Intimacy

Child I am calling you closer to Me.  I am calling you to spend more
time with Me.  I am calling you to set aside some of many things that keep
you ever so busy, and to give Me a priority over them on your time.  

I am asking you to stop presenting Me with the "leftover" time at the end 
of having scheduled everything else in your agenda.  I don't want to be 
the least important item on your agenda.  You are of great value to Me, and 
I want you to demonstrate to Me, through the priority you give Me on your
time, that I am also of great value to you.  So I am asking you to give Me 
the first priority on your time.  I am asking you to set aside intimacy 
time with Me each day, to come to Me to listen to what I would say to you, 
to find out what My plans are for you for each day.

Can you not trust Me?  If you put Me first, I will indeed give you the 
priority and order and strategy on the other things so that all that is 
needful for the day is accomplished.  Can't you trust me to lead and direct 
and orchestrate your day for you?  Don't you want to invite Me into it?  
You see, I desire ever so much to come into your day, to bring My presence, 
My strategies, My power and My victory and My glory into it.  I desire to 
spend your day with you, to be actively involved with you in it.

There are many things that I desire to show you and there are many things 
that I desire to speak to you. I want to reveal more of Myself and more of 
My presence and more of My glory to you.  Child, I desire you to come and
sit before Me and seek Me and spend your time with Me.  I desire your
worship and I desire your devotion.  And as you come before Me, I will
begin to manifest Myself to you, I will begin to lift you to a higher level
of intimacy with Me than you have known before.  I will raise you up and I
will cause you to see My glory and I will cause you to reflect My glory
to those around you.  For I have called you to be a carrier of My presence
and a carrier of My glory -- but you will not be able to carry it if you
do not spend the intimacy time with Me. 

Do not be to me like a little child who runs back and forth and to and fro 
and who does not sit on the father's lap and spend time with the father.
For I am your Father.  I desire you and I desire you to give Me the top 
priority on your time.  I desire for you to come to Me on a daily basis.
I desire that you call out to Me to reveal more of Myself to you.  For I
do indeed desire to reveal and manifest more of My presence and more of
My glory and more of Myself to you.  Seek Me Child.  Come sit before Me
and spend time with Me.  Demonstrate to Me that I am important to you by
giving Me a high priority on your time.  Seek me and find Me... for I 
desire to draw you to newer and higher levels of intimacy with Me.

Come to Me, child of Mine!  Come.
