Meeting God---addendum

11/3/12 This morning's "timely" email from dear friend Margie Hornor, was a great addition to yesterday's "Meeting God" blog. Knowing that I'm headed to The Cove this week to hear Anne Graham Lotz teach, she replied, "Anne Graham Lotz is one of my favorites.  I once heard her say that she believes God is a gentleman and wants to be invited into our lives."

What a perfect reminder for those of us contemplating quiet times on a higher plane. Many folks have times of quiet reflection----a time of introspective consideration of one's own thoughts or emotions, often apart from God. It's self-examination and even self exaltation. That's NOT the kind of quiet time I referred to yesterday.
If one wants to meet God in a time of quiet intimacy, the key is asking him in. First there is the asking Him into one's heart as Savior but then there is the daily communion with Him where it's still important to "invite" Him to join in. He would delight in the invitation.

So....don't forget to "invite" him to meet with you at your quiet place.
