I think that in this electronic age, where we have replays available, and can turn something on and off at our convenience, we sometimes lack the ability to bond. Life takes us away from our first love. We hop like bunnies from one thing to another, rapidly reproducing what we’re consuming. What are we consuming? What seeds are we allowing to grow, and entertain thoughts that war against our purpose and destiny?

Are we not paying attention to the person speaking right in front of us or do we have multiple windows open in our minds to see life as if on a fast train, taking in the scenery, but never enjoying the atmosphere in us?

I have been on a journey of not feeling good enough. When we face rejection for any reason, we can become introspective and partner with that thought. What if we opened the book of Hebrews, Colossians, or Ephesians and learned our worth? What if we shut off all the tabs in our minds and cleared our cache from anything that exalts itself above the knowledge of God and what He says about us? 

My little brother, Josh, used to tell me that he could tell when I was listening to him, because my mind was focused and attentive. When I first met Zack, he gave me his full attention, and I felt heard and seen. 

Let’s aim to treat each other better than if we have the option of a replay. Right here right now. Let’s laser focus our attention on the heart of God for each other, and love with intention.
