I wanted to make an encouraging reminder as to how absolutely vital it is to spend personal quality communion with God and note the definition of communion the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level Communion with God is not just when we are done with everything and relaxing it's something we can do all day every day. We sometimes forget to spend time with God and we sometimes tend to think we just don't have time but this is not so if you love something enough you always find time.

God wants something more than strong faith more than vast wisdom more than the adept in his word he wants a deep and personal relationship with us he wants to talk with us as much as possibly possibly he gets such great joy in hearing from his children even if it's a short thank you Lord his heart leaps within his chest when his children hunger to know him more intimately his hearts melts when he hears his children express how they love him. More than glory and praise more than his own throne his heart craves communion with his children he relishes and cherishes every second we spend with him and in return he gives us deeper insight and greater faith stronger love and he shows and teaches the deep and hidden secrets of his heart and of his kingdom.

I also have myself found how good it is for our health to spend time with him or even just talk with him when I didn't feel good and was physically exhausted to the point I was going to pass out which happens often when I am on cc conversing with others and resting in his presence I can feel my body gain life my worries and doubts disappear peace and love flwo in my heart and soul. Resting and relishing in communion with him is a lost art it seems we often times are to busy with the stress and worries of life itself that we forget to be still and know God.

I would make this thread a sticky if I could because of the vast importance of spending time with God and communion with him is done in so many ways l, listening to music listening or reading his word or an author that you like to read and listen to that helps you grow in Christ going on your morning jogs and listening to these or just simply talk with him being at work and talking with him throughout the day going on walks and pondering the deeper things of God even drawing is a way I have found communion with him.

Because everyone is different and unique we all have different ways of communion with him, and no guys heated debates on the bible discussion and attacking each other is not communion with him so get that out of your heads lol.

True, older threads that are so inspiring should stay up top irrespective of dates.

I asked oncefallen but I didn't receive a reply maybe he is busy or maybe the thread is simply not sticky worthy but it's ok either way I only made this thread to encourage to help deepen the bonds between God and others and well that is the intent in almost all my posts anyways so the threads intent will live on

Exactly, you don't need a stickied thread to make a difference, I enjoyed the post as i'm sure many others will, keep up the good work.
