There are times where I seem to pull away from the mundane things in life and focus on the more spiritual things. I know this is a good spiritual practice and it does help put things namely life into perspective. It also serves to remove attachments to unhealthy or in the least unnecessary things. It also helps me take a fresh look at the relationships in my life.
I think this must have been what Jesus did when he pulled away. This time for me includes prayer, meditation, reading and a lot of soul searching. I think if Christ needed this in the ancient world how much more do we need it in today's rat race of business.
The last two weeks has been just that for me. This time for me does bring a better focus and a peace but it also brings an uneasiness. When you get still and quiet and it is just you and God, a lot of things begin to rise to the surface. Many fear this quiet time, but in the presence of God there is pure love and acceptance. Nothing to fear. God will only point out things that need to change for our betterment. There is no condemnation or guilt, just honesty, transparency and strength for growth.
I am not suggesting it is all comfortable. But it the words of today's youth, It is ALL GOOD!
