Wrong questions !
If I answer directly, then my time with God in His Word becomes a checklist of obligations I do to stay good with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, remember that Jesus calls us His friends.
Friends spend time together, talking, and just being close.
Jesus said He’s waiting for us to hear Him knocking, and for us to open the door—He wants to come in and “eat and drink” with us—like family time at mealtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does it take ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it takes a whale—if it takes a wilderness—so be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you love Jesus,
Spend time with Him.
Talk to Him—pray.
Listen to Him—read His Words, and listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much time ?

No limit—
No obligation—
No worry—<\/p>\n\n\n\n
