We are so task oriented and results driven. We have our set of initiatives to complete. Our appointments are set and we live and die by the calendar. If something does not go by schedule, it throws everything out of whack.
God calls us to intimacy with him. God calls us to stop the bustle of this world and to rest in his undying love and care. To be in the shelter of his being. To rest calmly and surely in his loving spirit.
God Calls us to chill-n-hang with him. He names us as his children, claimed to be his in the waters of baptism. He brought us from slavery to sin to being heirs of the kingdom. He names us as his children, then as all parents hope, he calls for us to be friends. We can be the best of friends with God. Telling him all of our innermost secrets, desires, letdowns. He then calls us to the next stage after friends to intimacy. To fully know him and to be known by him. A person who knows your very being and loves you in spite of that. God calls us to complete his sentences, to have us complete his. He wants us to chill-n-hang with him.
So for a few minutes, or the whole day clear the schedule and chill-n-hang with God.
