Being Fully Present
February 6, 2024
What prevents you from being fully present in the moment? When I’m talking with someone, I don’t want to be thinking about what I’m going to be doing next… or even what I’m supposed to say next! Because not only does the other person deserve it, but I deserve it as well.
In the same way, I deserve to fully experience all that God has for me in this moment. When I worry or am fearful about what might or might not happen in the future, I’m pulling myself out of the present moment.
I also miss out on the value of the incredible present when I dwell on the past. The what ifs. The might’ve beens.
As believers we’re not seeking to empty our minds by being present, but to be more fully mindful of what God is doing in this particular moment, rather than wasting time speculating about the past or the future, trusting that God’s got the future in his hands.
Remember, choose hope today.
