a little is better than nothing/Day 4

Being regimented like I tend to be, I used to think that if I can't fully do something I am used to doing, there is not point at all.

For example, when I have my Jesus time. I like to spend time reading the word, journaling, and then blogging about it. It doesn't take that long for me to do, but sometimes I just don't have the time. I used to beat myself up over it because when I didn't have time, I wouldn't do any of those three things.

I've came to the realization the past couple months that a little is better than nothing. If I can fit at least one of those three things in my day, it's fulfilling to me. Better to use the time I have to be productive rather than just throwing it all out the window.

This morning all I had time for was writing a blog post. Today you might only have time to get into the word. You might only have time to read a devotional plan on your phone, etc. My point is...I know that we are all extremely busy but there is always time where we can honor God in some sort of fashion. 

My encouragement is not to get down on yourself if you aren't spending time with God on a daily basis. There is always something to work for and that it could be it. Just remember: a little bit is better than nothing at all.

Day 4: Dear heavenly Father, I am so thankful for another day. You didn't have to let me wake up today, but here we are and it's another day to love others and to honor you. I pray for everyone today when it comes to their relationship with you. Sometimes it's hard to find time for you in our busy lives, but I know that deep down everyone longs for the fulfillment and eternal salvation that you bring. I pray that everyone can find something that they do on a daily basis to enhance their relationship with God. Whether it's something that is 5 minutes or an hour. A little is better than nothing.
