When you love someone, you love to spend time with them. You love learning everything about them and you love being close to them.
When you spend time with the Lord, you’ll start to clearly see Him in ways that you hadn’t seen Him before. Your love will become deeper as you spend time adoring your heavenly Father.
Something else will happen too…… Others will clearly see Him in you!

His Everlasting love it feel it more even this days of sadness and need.
Love this post, Marie! It is so very true that the more time we spend with the Lord, the more we see Him working around us and in us. How timely that the day before I first read this article a friend shared one of the greatest compliments to me saying they saw Christ in me. I love your summary : I pray that others may see Christ shining through me, that I may share the love that He has with all & that my life may be a positive force for Him. Amen!
I love how you emphasize that we never lose when we spend time with Him. In fact, we gain more.
