Me: Sometimes you have ants in your pants, but sometimes you have to pause anyway and rest.

Prodigal: Yes, I need that time now.

This is from the book Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges and Phyllis Hendry

Only when you really know God will He truly be the object of your worship. When you know God is good, when you know He loves you with no strings attached, and when you know that He will never leave you, then you can trust Him above all others and you will worship Him more freely. When you are in deep trouble and the only One you can call on is your heavenly Father–the One who put the stars in place, who loved you first, who created you, and who has a perfect plan for you life–then you will worship Him more wholeheartedly. We come to know God through our experiences with Him, and our worship of God increases and is enriched as we come to know Him better.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us).
