In my life I can get caught up in the busyness of life. I can be consumed with my job, my responsibilities, social engagments, church, and even my calling. But there comes a time when I have to stop and take time to be alone with God. No matter if my intentions are good if I don't spend time with God my life controls me and I always end up frustrated by life. God puts everything in its proper place.
When is the last time you looked up and appreciated the sky and the clouds? What about the joy of seeing your children jump and laugh at a park? There are so many great experiences that we miss out on because our focus is on things that mean nothing. Open your eyes to what God has blessed you to possess. I don't want to look back at my life and regret not enjoying the journey that God has blessed me to travel. Turn off your cell phone, turn off your tv and computer and enjoy the simple things like taking a walk or having a conversation with someone you love at a park. If you can not do anything us else take a breathe and smile believe me it will make a difference in the midst of chaos.
We live with a sense of urgency that can border on out of control. But when we place our lives in God's hands we are at peace with whatever progress is made in the day. Stop take time to appreciate the most important thing in your life (God). Thank Him for life, purpose and passion. Allow Him to align your life with His will and take rest in His spirit that you may enjoy everything that He places in your life. God bless you.
"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness." Psalms 17:15
