Welcome. This is Heidi from Discerning Grace. Today I am taking a break from exercises. Physical or spiritual exercises can easily move from helpful and healthy to a negative even unhealthy activity in our life. I took a break from the exercises because I was getting caught up in ‘doing things’ instead of ‘being’. It is good for us to have goals, to strive and seek ever more to be an image bearer of Jesus. Yet, there are times when just being is more than enough. Taking time to sit at His feet and listen or watch or feel the world around us. As Martha was busy getting things ready, Mary sat at Jesus feet. I think she listened, she watched, she drew in the compassion he radiated. Sometimes we need to do the same. Sit, listen, watch, feel and accept his love he so generously gives.
