Spending time is an attribute of healthy relationships. The one we know as Jesus Christ was not shy about spending time with others. He was not shy about spending time with those for whom the religious leaders had no time for. His time spent often lead to a healing of some kind. Does time spent lead to healing? In my rushed world I do not even slow down to find out any possible answers to this question. A sent people cannot hide themselves away but must spend time with those near them. This time does not have to be spectacular. By itself, time spent IS spectacular to a world that sees most people as objects in the way of their goals. We are a different sort of people, however, when we take on the attributes of Jesus. These attributes are to slow down and spend consistant time with particular people whom God sends into your life.
