Imagine a mentor or friend who gives each of us undivided attention. Full focus, intense eye contact, listening without interruption. But more than that, it’s not just an act. He truly cares and has our best interests at heart. He wants to help us with every detail, yet wants us to make wise decisions.I need to develop this perspective - our Father is one hundred present available all the time. What full affection and attention when we have that Person’s focus and listening ability. If only I’d remember this!
“Without the Good Shepherd, we are alone in a meaningless story. Weariness and fear leave us feeling overwhelmed, unable to move. Cynicism leaves us doubting, unable to dream. The combination shuts down our hearts, and we just show up for life, going through the motions.” - Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life
