How easy it is to drift through our days missing the point of this gift called life. It's too darn easy to slip into the mistake of thinking it's all about me. I know I find myself there... too often.
In the intro to Ken Gire's book 'Windows of the Soul' he makes a good observation about our self-obsession:
"The pursuit of self is what most of us have been doing for much of our lives, even our spiritual lives. But the self is a cul-de-sac, and eventually we end up where we started. Footsore and just as frustrated, just as unfulfilled. Feeling we're a failure, or worse, a fraud."
he goes on to say...
"We long for more than the routine walk around the religious block. We long for the companionship of God."
Yes Lord... that’s it! I long for something real, something genuine and lasting. Something greater than myself. Something divine. And I know that is friendship with You. Lead me along paths that don't dead-end in bland selfishness but ascend into the wilds. To the places you inhabit. amen
