You know, lots of times, we have so much to do, so many things to do that keeps our mind so occupied, we can't worship Him when He comes. He will come to the meeting where they was having a revival in the city, the whole city, the ministerial association will get together and have a breakfast, and they'll draw up plans, and they're going to have a big meeting. And then when Jesus comes to the church, and begins to deal with somebody, they'll say, "Put that fanatic out."
Jesus wants to bless you. He wants to--He wants the first place, and we give Him the last place. Oh, yes. We got time for everything else, but you see Him just a few minutes before you jump in bed, maybe, at night, once a week. See?
"Dear God, bless me, and my brother, and father, and mother, Mr. Jones and... Amen," get to bed. Last place, but He never turns you down. He's good to you anyhow. That's what makes Him real to me.
