Like the Scripture says, 'His praise shall continually be in my mouth' . I find myself more and more praising Him at the sight of His glorious creation throughout the day. 'He inhabits our praise' Ps 22:3.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
How are you escaping your body?

Show me spending time with the Lord in scripture.

If you say via the indwelling of the HOLY SPIRIT then you spend all time with him because he is where you is.

Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine: Punctuation. :)

Time is not a measurement of love; if it were, we could all be accused of idolizing our sleep and our work, and for some, our commute.

Jesus asked for just an hour but the great disciples could not even last for an hour. Jesus knew that His disciples loved Him but He was a bit disappointed and concerned because if they failed to pray and watch, they will fall into temptation.


Matthew 26:40‭-‬41 KJV


And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

He is our Best Friend, and thus we speak throughout our day with Him in all situations, whether silently or out loud,
it doesn't matter to us who Love Him with all of our hearts, but, we must learn the difference...

There is no time as we know it in eternity. This is temporary, that we may learn to continually repent. "Keep yourselves in the Love of God." Living from the heart and Wisdom of God: no longer leaning on our understanding. "Strive to enter in at the Straight Gate for many shall seek to enter in and shall not be able." Why are they not able if they seek to enter in? There are 3 reasons but one affects most people and we all have trouble. "In the world you will have trouble but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world."
This is a good question for bible trivia, I will post it there.

I am always amused that a Site which has thousands of Members, many of them highly educated, multi-lingual Scholars of Scripture, always seems to have someone show up now and again trying to be the "chosen Teacher" anointed by God to instruct we [the ignorant masses] in His Word.

It really is amusing...

Some spell love. . Time.

Like the song Daddy don't' walk so fast or how much longer. . five times in two miles.. or wives and husbands

I would say its the golden measurement of faith, a measurement made up of the attributes of God who is Love.

The first work of love is God is longsuffering because he patient that love can attribute to a kindness. Not to be confused with nice which can come later. But kind as for instance you have been with others encouraging in a Punctuation.. a great gift. like sleep as long as we do not idolize.

David says in the Psalms . When I awake you are still there working in us . He does not awaken his love in us until he desire so .A good sleep can comfort us knowing he repairs our minds to face the belly of the whale
