God is flowing. We live in a world that seeks to categorize everyone and everything. It is an inherent part of our nature as it helps us to make sense of things. We can grow very attached to our sense of the world through this categorical order. The key is not to get stuck in the categories that we create. Our spontaneous nature also inherent calls on us to seek out novelty and that which lies outside our categories. These may seem like conflicting processes but it is all part of the ebb and flow of life. If we choose on way over the other we shut out options. We cannot just breathe in to survive, we must also breathe out. We step forward and then turn left or back up. Sometimes we even have to turn around. Our bodies share this same quality. We ingest and excrete. Those who have ever had difficulty with either one of those processes know how life seems to come to a halt. The blood goes through the heart into our cells with fresh oxygen and returns to our hearts to be replenished. Nothing in ourselves or the nature of the world speaks of being stagnant. So why do we think that it is best if things stay the same? Why do we pick one way and then become closed off to other ways of seeing things? Our brains will attach to whatever promises to ensure our survival and we can all be thankful for that. But what if our brains aren’t giving us all the options? God invites us to slow down and notice ourselves and our world. In my daily prayer and meditation dates when I slow my breathing and observe my mind, I see there is more possibility than I can come up with on my own. God simply wants a chance to connect with us an a space of openness and love.
Be Of Slowness!
on October 14, 2016My prayer for us is the willingness to take a few moments and slow down today.
If God has designed us to be in the flow of life, how might you slow down and notice your presence in the flow of God’s love today? Share in the comments.
