Be Still, Be Now

Michael here...

It's been a while between posts, but here goes....

I don't know about you, but my life feels chaotic at times. What's worse, there are periods when I really enjoy the chaos. I love having several things going at once, and the pressure that comes from needing to perform in a time crunch. Eventually, however, my mind and body pay the price. I lose my ability to enjoy small things and my thinking becomes a muddled mess. It's in those fragile (and often frightened) moments that I return to the GOD who loves me even when I can't perform. He's been there all along, I've just managed to lose sight of him for a bit. I try to forget my past and ignore my future, and rest right here and right now in His unconditional and extravagant love. I don't know why I forget these times so easily and plunge back into the chaos, but I'm grateful that GOD is patient and always eager for my return.
