It is so important for every Christian to realize this…spending time alone with our dear Lord Jesus is how He empties us of all other things, fills us with Himself, and we become an expression of God towards others. Lord, my prayer is that You would remind me to take time out of my busy days to behold You, absorbing all that You are, so You can fill me with Yourself.
Take time to behold Him,
Be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each temper
Beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou then shalt be fitted
His mercy to prove.
To absorb God takes time. May we not be rushed in our time with Him!
United States
Lord, no matter what, we would just follow You and trust in Your Word. Everyday, all we would do is give Your our time to experience and enjoy all that You are. Amen<3
El Paso, TX, United States
In joy or in sorrow
Still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His Word.
Queens, New York, United States
Oh! , dear brothers and sisters, if we just realize that on our everyday THIS WORLD RUSHES ON to take us away from spending adequate time with our precious dear Lord Jesus. The key of been a living member of the Body of Christ is just absorbed and been absorbed by our dear Lord Jesus Christ; by Taking time to behold Him
speak oft with thy Lord.
Los Angeles, California, United States
Take time to behold Him,
Let Him be thy guide!
Austin, Texas, United States
Let Him be thy guide (and run not before Him).
Austin, Texas, United States
Oh Lord Jesus! Thank You that we can take time to behold You. We just want to take time to behold You day by day, hour by hour and moment by moment!
Houston, Texas, United States
Take time to behold Him,
Be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each temper
Beneath His control.
Amen!!!
Such a sweet hymn.
