Today I went to yoga. On my way there I was really happy I was allowing myself this time to go and do something I really enjoy doing. I was craving that feeling I get while I am doing yoga and the benefits of feeling relaxed after the class. During the second pose which lasted about 5 minutes I started experiencing a LOT of tension in my neck, hips and hamstrings. I have never felt this amount of tension before or during a yoga practice before. I realized it had been over a month since I had been at a class. No wonder I was experiencing this tension; my body was not used to it. I realized I couldn’t expect to gain the benefits of practicing yoga if I only go once a month. To really see results I have to attend classes and practice yoga regularly. I realized my relationship with God is similar to this feeling I was having about yoga. When I start to feel tension within myself and when I feel distant from God my body aches, my mind and thoughts are chaotic. I realized to truly reap the benefits of a relationship with God it must be a priority; something you work at daily. God wants to know you intimately and to be intimate with Him it require time and heart. When I feel tension with God I must dive deeper and be diligent with my time with Him. The benefits are far greater than anything I have ever experienced.
Proverbs 8:17
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
1 Chronicles 16:10
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
