“Come away with me. Though you are here, come away.” This is what Jesus says, and how God calls to us by his Spirit. We are so distracted here in this place. There are so many things calling for our attention. The best thing we can do is choose to entrust ourselves to God. It is a moment-by-moment kind of thing. It takes practice. It doesn’t matter how many times we screw up. God is not insecure about our weakness. He has felt the pain of this weakness himself, and he has overcome it, and he offers his own accomplishments in so doing to us, free of charge. He is well able to provide us with the help we need.
Close your eyes even now and come away with him, beyond the noise and above the fray of this present darkness; dive in and go deeper, higher…and as you soak in the mystery of faith, become your true self in the comfort of his perfect love.
This is why you are here and now.
