reminded once again : )

There are many things, good and bad, that fight for our attention. I am positive if asked everyone could come up with their own endless list of distractions in life. It is rare that we give our undivided attention to anything and yet most everyone is striving to do more and have more. I fall guilty of this epidemic far too often. I have the most time commitments I have ever had currently in this season of my life. I won’t take the time to elaborate but every day I am reminded multiple times of something on my heart that I want to devote myself to. Today when I was driving and singing, imagine that, God surprised me. I felt an unexpected wave of comfort. I love the way He steals my attention. He does it in exactly the way I need Him to, with a quiet strength. His unfailing presence is the reason I am capable of love. He moves and is in work in the unseen in my heart. He is my guide, my support, my comfort, and my passion. There is more to me than just what I can see. His Spirit is in me, and through His Spirit He can guide and direct me, showing me things that I can’t even see- if I take the time to listen. When I get overwhelmed He reminds me every time I come in contact with another person, it’s a sacred meeting, the meeting of two eternal beings in the middle of a journey. I should consider it an honor when I’m entrusted with the presence of a person. With Him I feel moved to keep fighting the good fight. He makes me feel cherished. His love brings me to action so others will know they are cherished as well. Knowing God is the ultimate reward. He continually wins my heart and reminds me to listen to what He has for me and others.
