WEDNESDAY THOUGHT 1/30/08

Get lost!  (No, no, get back here.)  I mean, lose yourself.  Lose yourself in something good and valuable and bigger than yourself. Lose yourself to the point you lose track of time, of when you last ate, of whether your hair is neat and presentable.  I think that’s why some people enjoy cooking for friends, volunteering for a cause in which they believe, or taking care of a loved one.

I also think that is what faith is about: those rare moments when we are able to let go and get lost in what God wants and forget about our own daily cares and woes.

My point?  Not sure.  Something about “letting go and letting God,” and trusting that God really is here (not somewhere out there, but right here), watching over us, caring for us, in charge and fully aware of what is best for us.  As for me, though I very likely will fail (and that’s okay), I will do my best to forget my worries this day and try to let myself get lost in God’s wondrous blessings, cherishing and just enjoying his love.  — jri

whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life –
of whom shall I be afraid?”
