Jesus Christ loves the world, and He loves the Church, but there is a special bread He feeds those who love Him in private. There is a divine manna He reserves for those who extravagantly waste themselves in His presence.
How do you waste your life on Jesus? Easy. Its no secret.
1. Make the decision in your mind, and your heart will catch up.
2. Get in His presence.
3. Reject sin.
4. Cry out to Him in prayer.
5. Lift your soul to Him in worship.
6. Read and mediate on the Word until your heart is filled with the things that fill God's heart.
7. Utterly abandon yourself to Him, for intimacy with God takes time, and there is no substitute for waiting in His presence.
8. Like Mary, choose to forego some of the less important things going on around you in order to make more time to cultivate a relationship with Him.
9. Lavishly, extravagantly pour out your life as a drink offering upon the holy altar of God. Allow yourself to be broken and spilled out for the priceless One whose body was broken and whose precious life's blood was spilled out for you.
Lord Jesus, in sweet abandon, let me be spilled out and used up for you.
Is that your prayer? Then rearrange your schedule to make time for Him
Quoted from Mike Bickle from his book "Passion for Jesus"
