Time.

In my personal study, I recently looked at Luke 12:35-40 , which speaks of a parable that Jesus told explaining that the Son of Man will come at a time that we do not expect.  The study asked, "What keeps you most distracted from awaiting Christ's return?"  To be honest, this question initially made me angry.  Because it hurt so much and convicted my heart.  The reality of it all is that I feel like everything is keeping me distracted from the return of Christ.  

It led me to realize that it is a time issue, dependent upon how I have been using it.  Right now, I feel so overwhelmed, like my time belongs to everyone and everything but myself.  

But the problem isn't that my time doesn't belong to me, the problem is that it isn't all belonging to God.  My time is not my own, but it is God's.  I am a steward.  I have been given this life, this body, this mind to seek and serve the One True God.  To follow hard after Him.  To let His will be done.  To do work for the Kingdom.  

My eyes are fixed heavenward for the return of my Savior and I anxiously await the day that I will see Him face to face.  And while I wait, I pray that I am so consumed in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that I am completely distracted from everything preventing me from fellowship with my God.
