I want to learn all I can about abiding in Christ - living every moment for and with Him. I was deeply challenged by what Tony Twist wrote below.
I believe we need to daily strive and even struggle to share our lives with the Lord. We need to be challenged at times and reminded of how the things of the world can get in the way of our abiding in Christ and then make any necessary changes to get "back on track"! ...

Here is the quote. Like me, you'll probably read it a few times. 8-)
"Thanks be that the Ancient of Days wants to share all of our journey (Matthew 28:20). However, He will not come uninvited.
So, we just say 'yes.' Inviting Him to form the relationships that form us and those we love. Turning to Him when sleep eludes us in the night. Driving to work with him instead of some deeply diverted disc jockey. Observing His reaction as He watches television with us and goes along to the movies we consume. Fasting, for His sake, from ball games, shopping, food, friends, vacations, or anything else that intrudes between us. Faithfully keeping the morning, afternoon, evening and/or late night appointments with Him. Having and helping His children. Taking care of His little ones.
The more we obediently share life with Him, the better we become. The better we become, the more we want to share with Him."
