Yes, knowing that God sees our hearts should give us extra motivation to keep a pure one! Thanks, Kelly.

I need these reminders often myself, Floyd. It’s sometimes easier to show up for the public disciplines and skimp on the private ones. But they each have value to keep our souls refreshed and aware of God’s will for us.

The time spent alone with our Father changes us into a better version of human. We’re not perfect, but we begin to show less and less of the instinctual side of our flesh.

That time is the best time to bring peace and spiritual rest.

Thanks for the reminder. It’s needed.

Thanks, Nicole. I too often fall into the trap of wanting appreciation for things I’ve done, but long ago I discovered that it doesn’t often come in human form. 😉 Yes, so thankful that ultimately we do what we do for God above all!

Oh yes, a timer is a definite must for me as well for meditation. 😉 I love the Insight timer. Although I don’t always use it when I’m laying in bed to meditate, I almost always use it during the daytime. (I also like that it keeps track of my progress through the years, for better or worse.)

I’d love to hear you sing a few songs, Lynn! What a beautiful way to share your love with God (and with others).

Good point, Andrew. Discipline is even more critical when the gold stars and public incentives are removed.

No, I haven’t ever read “When No One Sees” but I’ll definitely go look it up right now. Thanks.
