Life is in need of continual adjustment. At least my life. I am busy moving my life around work and family, at times leaving little space for me to "be".
As a result, it is easy for my life to become over-run by the tyranny of the urgent; taking my focus away from what is important to what "has to get done". It is here that life becomes about survival, not true living. When I find myself merely "surviving life" I am in need of some adjustment, something greater to which I re-calibrate my life.
To re-calibrate to an ever expanding life is what Jesus talked about when he spoke of the Kingdom of God. It is when we let go of our self, our priority, our story and insert ourselves into the unfolding narrative of God that life is fully lived. This requires a constant re-calibration of our way to God's way; our story to God's story. It is here where we realize that God is not our priority, but simply he is the priority.
Emptying our selves in surrender compels us to see our life, humanity, and creation with a new set of lenses. I am finding that re-calibrating my life to the way of God is never complete. Yet each adjustment, each calibration moves us further into the story of God and propels us into a life engulfed with exploration, discovery, creation, and beauty.
