Life, in all it's fullness, is happening right now. While our thoughts are sometimes elsewhere, beautiful opportunities and moments are being passed over and lost to the flow of time. Athough we cannot possibly fully experience each leaf that falls to the ground, sometimes we get so attached to reaching our goals that we don't pay attention to the wonder all around us. When we do that, we live in a world that exists only in our heads, while we miss life itself. There is so much to be enjoyed and appreciated that we need to remember to pay attention to the present moment, because it is the only space in which we can experience being alive.
When was the last time you stepped out and did something that made you uncomfortable? Introducing yourself to someone you don't know, crossing the street to help someone in need or spending time in worship that is out of the ordinary.
Jesus does not intend for us to stay in our comfort zone and only do those things that we do well. By His teaching and His life He shows us how to reach out and grasp all that life has to offer. You may be hurt or rejected in the process but so was He. The mere act of trusting in Him will yield results that you cannot imagine. Your life will be enriched and new talents discovered. Follow His lead...
