Dear Friends
This is troubling me. I yearn to spend more time with Yeshuah, but I have so little time. The time I do spend is beautiful with Him and I love Him with my whole being. I give up time that I should be sleeping to be with Him, because I crave it so much and I believe He desires it as well. I think of Him and converse with Him inwardly all day long. I don't think more than 5 minutes ever passes without talking or listening to him. I don't have little time because I am spending time on pursuits of mine, it is because of obligations to family or to work and more. This servant asks her sisters and brothers to give her some suggestions... I am yearning to be with Him. I am lovesick

Hello Servant of Yeshuah,

There is a book which you might find useful:

but it shounds like you are already there ~ you are where i long to be. GOD is extremely important. Without HIM nothing else makes any sense. and as you know HE is always with you and you can talk with HIM anytime you want. Be at peace with that. Realize that HE wants you to serve HIM by serving your family and being the best worker at work. Continue to spend as much time with JESUS as you can. But don't sacrifice your health. And remember that you have an eternity to serve HIM to be with HIM. What an Awesome GOD we serve!!

Servant4yeshuah,
It sounds to me like you have a serious addiction...to God!! I can see that you are like the deer that panteth for the water and that your soul is yurning to be with the Almighty, praise God. You are such a beautiful person and spirit and your communion with God seems so rich and genuine that I would say that, like me, you are homesick. We are told in 1 Peter 2:11 that we are aliens in this world and I don't think we can ever be truly satisfied until we are in His presence eternally. Praise God for all His majesty and may we meet Him soon enough!

You made me laugh out loud about the addiction. :D This must be true, yes?
Thank you for your encouragement.
