Meditation

Greetings,

I hope all is well with everyone.

So last week was about meditation, I want to capitalize on two sentences from this devotional. The first is "I don't often practice meditation because I often dont want to hear what God is telling me." For all of last week, that was me. I would pray but not listen and you cant meditate if your not listening. I wasnt listening because I was scared of what God was saying, not because what He had to say was negative but because I was allowing my own fears and insecurities to control my actions. God has called me to serve, not only with Sonshine, but in life, in particularly at my college and for a long time my phone was ringing but I wasnt answering. Well, on Sunday, I finally answered the call, I joined the church on campus and I wait and openly give God permission to fully use me. (Not that I was in control anyway, but its a process).
With that being said the next sentence I took from the devotion was "We can either allow our doing to flow out of our being, or we can become so preoccupied with our doing that we neglect the true nature of our very self." Ive learned not to preoccupy myself with doing so that I neglect my true nature, because someone needs me, more importantly God needs/wants to use me.
