I have a little white book with 6-minute reflections for each day. The following is actually Monday's reflection, but it stood out for me. I dunno why.
Here it goes: " No one has to teach a mother that she's supposed to love her child.
This isn't something that she has to study. It's IN her.
The same is true of a child's love for its mother. A 2-day old baby is drawn to its mother. It doesn't have to be trained to do that.
This image can help us realize that God's love toward us isn't something God has to force himself to do. It's in God, just as a mother's love for her child is in her.
God made us. And God made us in his image and likeness. God is drawn toward us.
And the reverse is true.
We are drawn towards God.
Let me think about that. "
I do my reflections daily! I'll go nuts if I don't, or I feel guilty if I don't.
This, in fact, is how I spend some quiet time with the Lord (every day!) .. In addition to reading my bible daily as well. This works out perfect for me because when times get tough, I reflect on my bible readings & see how just how tough times were back then & how "tough" it was for God to get everyone to believe. And when times aren't tough, I still read to my heart's content because it makes me feel good. period.
