Now

I like the subtitle of one of my friend's books: it's "Following Jesus in real time." There's really no other way you can follow, except one step at a time. And there's really not another way to build a relationship with someone, including Jesus. We've all been with those people who never sit still or shut up long enough to get to know you. That's the same thing we do with God - we never give him a chance to speak.

God's hoping you'll just settle down and be. See, the goal is really just to know God, to be still until he comes to you and then you've found the greatest treasure that you will find - a God that loves you. Then, I promise, things will fall into place, but you have to be willing to be present in this real moment right here.
