I am beginning to see and finally experience what it means to come alive, to truly live. You see, Awakening is a process. It is relearning how to do a lot of things and changing how you do them. It is seeing with new eyes, with Eyes Wide Open. Seeing what’s actually real and what actually matters.
Coming alive is path we are called to take that won’t end until we leave this earth, but we must start it now. How? Intimacy with God. He is our source of life. He is how we come alive! The problem is we get distracted by a thousand things and we make the terrible mistake of taking our eyes off of the One who gives us breath.
When we look the other way, the light we had that radiated from Him onto us as we stood in His presence begins to fade. We suffer spiritually (which is our real self). Our world slowly deteriorates as things lose their color and joy is forgotten…
The lovely thing about it all, when you’ve had enough of your own way and found that it left you feeling nothing but dead and broken, is when you turn around and look up from your mess you see something amazing. That familiar light you once knew comes bursting in and you are swept up in the power of your Father’s embrace! You are overwhelmed by a relentless father. You see the love and grace in His eyes. You notice that although you left Him, He never left you. He was always there and He always will be.
