this could be a dangerous mind game to play but, i wonder if you could measure the way people feel about you based upon their reaction to you giving them your time let me explaine. imagine as a gift you told someone close "you choose a day and i'll do whatever you like, it's your day" could you 'measure' their connectedness/love/friendship for you by their response? if time or the investment of ourselves in other is the greatest gift we can give, then by their response could you tell how the person felt about you? after all if they value you highly wouldn't they jump at the opportunity to spend time with you? and if they don't see it as a great opportunity then how much do they really value you? if their response is "um, ya okay" then what does that say? Now bring this a spiritual level. God gives us His undivided attention all the time, what does our response to Him always being available say about our love toward God?

Thats getting to the heart of things...I mean we end up worshiping whatever we invest the most time right? Be it ourselves or God or work...its convicting b/c you start to think about things that get in the way, that prevent you from committing that time and effort and devotion...
i would say that our response means everything... going along with what danny said; it's a constant process trying to decide how much time should be given to each detail in life-what is most important? i feel like the answer should be so obvious- God, of course. but if you look at your life and how you spend your time... is this really the case?
and what about the response itself and what it might look like... do different people give the same response in different ways? is it something so personal that only God really knows exactly how you are responding to Him... the meaning behind your response?
