That's the real challenge, isn't it? It's so easy to live in the past or in the future, but to truly live in the present is incredibly challenging. And even when we do manage to live in the present apathy is the next challenge to overcome.
Jesus calls us to be fully present. He calls us to cast all of our regret of the past and worries for the future on Him and simply be in this moment with Him. It's an amazing offer. It's an offer of real life and the presence of God. So the question is, why is it so hard?
Christ meets us exactly where we are. And I am dying to embrace Him, be it in joy or sorrow, wholeness or longing, rebuilding or in being torn down- I want nothing more than to simply spend this moment with Him. So why can't I?
