In the Bible, we find that God desires to spend time with us. As the Lord loves us, so he has a desire to spend his time with us. After creating Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden, God used to spend time with them. This shows us that God wants a fellowship with us.
God called Moses to bring his people out of Egypt. He guided them and protected them from their enemies. He gave them land to dwell. As their personal God, he appeared before them many times. All these he has done because he desired to spend time with his people.
Finally, God sent Jesus so that he could have fellowship with the entire people of the earth. Jesus died on the cross and made the way to heaven. He said no one can reach the father without me. So we can understand that God himself prepared a way to spend time with us.
So, we must manage our time in order to give time to God. We have to do our work, yet we need to make time for God. When we give our time to God, he blessed us.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about God wanting to spend time with us.
