We can go through life not realizing what it is calling us to if we look through the lens of things to get through. Life is not a checklist though I have certainly been guilty of behaving as though I was striving to earn the epithet: “Here lies the first woman to accomplish everything on her checklists.” Each experience is an opportunity to discover more of who we truly are. Our character is revealed in how we show up to each of the circumstances. What happens does not make us who we are, but how we handle what happens. God invites us to look at life and notice what it is seducing us to reveal to the world about ourselves. When we move from one thing to the next without pausing to tap into the energy of our hearts, how can we respond to the seduction of life? In case you haven’t noticed, life seems to be working hard to seduce out of us the strength of character needed to attend to more than we thought we could handle. God encourages us to summon the courage needed to step into the seduction of life and embark on a fuller understanding of the truth of our own hearts and engage in the dance of seduction inborn in the tapestry of what it means to be alive.
Are we willing to pause and connect within so we can take the first step into the seduction of what it means to be fully alive today?
