When you give God your time, you are giving him one of the greatest gifts you can give. It’s good to do “cool” things for God, but in the end, He just wants to be with you, and for you to be with Him. We were made to have a relationship with our Creator, and if we prioritize what we do FOR God over what we do WITH God, we’re not going to be living the life god has called us to. Someone once said that “Love” is spelled, T-I-M-E. Giving God your time is so important!

  • Luke 10:38-42 | The story of Mary and Martha.
  • John 15:5 | Spending time with God equips us.
  • Isaiah 26:3 | Peace comes from keeping focused on God.

Family Time Questions About Giving God Your Time:

Prayer:

Dear God, thank you for loving me and wanting to spend time with me. You are so, so good. Help me to remember what’s most important. In Jesus’ name, amen.
