How much time, money and effort do we spend
on the way we look on the outside? On having the right
clothes, cool hair etc. We spend hours outside in the
sun trying to get our tan just right…
But what about working on our inside?
“God is light (1 John 1:5)… He is
an all consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29)…”
Our spirit man (or heart) get’s ‘tanned’
by God’s light when we spend time with Him...
How can we work on our God tan? By spending time with
God through:
1. Prayer
2. Worship
3. Reading the Bible
4.
Fasting
(you can fast anything you like – Food, TV,
Facebook, chocolate, coffee… It’s a great
way to draw near to God and let Him know you are serious
about Him!)
What
does this God tan look like? The Bible says that from
spending time with God and letting Him mould and shape
us we will start to grow the fruit of the spirit on
the inside – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control…
(Galatians 5:22)
We don’t gain these attributes by trying hard
or working it out ourselves in our own strength…
The Bible clearly says that these are the fruit or the
product of the Spirit of God… Have you ever found
that you talk or act like your best friends? You like
the same music or similar movies? It’s just like
that with the Holy Spirit - by spending more time with
Him we’ll become more like Him!
So
grab your Bible and a note pad, put some worship music
through a pair of headphones and go for a walk…
Go up on a mountain, sit at the beach, at a river or
under the stars… Spend time alone – just
you and Jesus…
David
spent years worshipping God and He became a King…
Paul prayed ‘more than all of you’ and wrote
two thirds of the New Testament, Jesus was always taking
time aside to pray – even all night and He was
the Savior of the world… When Moses spent forty
days on the mountain with God he came back with a pretty
great tan – his face was glowing (Exodus 34)!
What can God do with your life if you will give Him
your time?
Just as the sun leaves an imprint on the skin, people
will always notice the difference if you’ve been
spending time in God’s presence – You’ll
be acting, thinking and behaving just like Jesus…

I was out for a walk and a pray with my dog Tilly
today and saw all different kinds of people going about
their lives... As the sun was setting and the day was
coming to a close I wrote out this prayer in response…
Dear
God,
This is what I want…
I want the most people possible in the whole world to
know You…
I want to connect people with You God…
I want them to encounter You…
I want to encounter You…
Over and over until I’m changed…
Until this world is a better place…
Until we love…
Until there’s peace in our hearts…
Until families are reconciled…
Until the whole world is saved…
Jesus I want everyone to know what you did for us…
And for them to believe it…
To believe in You…
Whatever it takes…
Please make us whole…
This
is my prayer...
Luke
