Tension and God’s Presence

God really has me.

Knowing this doesn’t mean I am free of tension but that I actually feel all of it.

I feel all of my worlds colliding at once.

God holds me together.

Somethings I cling tightly to.

God invites me to loosen my grip.

Other things I loosely hold.

God invites me to hold a little tighter.

This tension makes me feel alive and grounded as opposed to striving and driven. 

It has a similar feeling to being a child and trying to pat my head and rub my belly at the same time. (At first, it is impossible, but when I focus and stay with it, it becomes possible.)

This place of tension is where I feel most invited by God to just BE.

God invites me to

“Be still and know that I am God.”

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know.

Be still.

BE.
