FOG

There are times in our lives where we feel foggy.  We are going through the motions.  We cannot reflect clearly, wonder fully or imagine vibrantly during these times; the fog in our life reduces our visibility. We are reduced to just working through our busy, hectic lives.  We try to find some energy as our quality of life decays.      God understands. There are moments when God clears the fog.  In these moments, all of a sudden, there is little difference between what we see and cannot see, what we experience as real and what we trust is true.  In these moments, we are connected to the Divine and the heavens and earth become one. God loves these moments. Disciples of Jesus are open to recognizing these moments when the fog evaporates as what they are—nothing less than God making His presence known to us.  We have this overwhelming sense of not being alone.   However, we Jesus-followers do not want to stop there.  We are called to do whatever we can to clear the fog so we can commune with our ever-present God in all circumstances, especially when we are busy, sick or afraid.  Jesus showed us how he lifted the fog.  He lived in community, he visited the synagogue regularly, he acted out of compassion for all people, and he took time when he could to speak to His Father. How do you make the fog in your life evaporate?  Whatever you do, do these things often, and eagerly.  It is your calling.
