clutter and chaos cleared

God whispers in the silences. in the stillness. in the moments of pause. yet we have to be intentional in calming our hearts, our minds, our souls in order to hear it. perhaps we have to be intentional about creating sacred space, holy ground, on which we take off our shoes and meet God.s

Sometimes I think God yearns for us, pleads for us, and begs us to be in relationship with him. yet we so often turn away--seduced by the powers of technology, other relationships, people, places, school, jobs, money and various other things that crowd into our souls and vie for their own space.

Yet.

I think God might call us to stop. listen. and rest in him. allowing him to slowly, gently, but forcefully, clear out the chaos and clutter that we have chosen to instead make room for him.

May we seek him more fully together.
