Today, my heart is filled with gratitude and humility as I think about the closeness of God. This is always felt spiritually, never with the five material senses. After talking with a close friend about a distraction I was having while trying to write, she just casually said rather than that being a distraction, by looking at it differently, it would become inspiration! She was so “spot on”. There are times, I just want to be humanly comfortable without a care in the world. After a while that would become so boring and stale.
That is certainly not asking for “drama” in my life! But it is wanting substance and deeper understanding which only comes from spiritual growth. That happens when I overcome distractions. Philippians 4:4-5 states “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” What security!
