“Just be.”
That’s what Daddy-God keeps telling me. ”Just be.”
What does that mean? What does it look like? How do I know when I am just being?
Am I doing “being” right? That’s the hardest part of obeying this command to “just be”. I want to know how to “do” it and then do it “right”. But God just asked me to “be”.
So, I’m trying to remember to ask Him before I agree to “do” something. He does not want me to stop doing. No, I’m to “do” my responsibilities of daily living. He’s not asking me to stop “doing”. He’s asking me to “just be” as I am doing. Hmm.
OK, I think this means, to do the “doing” the way I (not somebody else) would. Maybe it’s like our friend who was Bob’s gymnastic coach always told the boys, “Do your best and let God do the rest.” It’s also, I think, what God meant when He said that we are to “do all things with your whole heart, as unto the Lord.” That is not to meet a certain standard (what), but rather with a certain attitude (how) – “whole-heartedly”, without guilt, shame, resentment, or “shoulds & oughts”. If I am joyful, then the tasks I do, I will do joyfully. If I am organized, the way I do tasks will reflect that. If I am a worshipper, then the tasks I do will be an act of love and devotion to God.
Hey! I think I’m getting the idea!! How about you?
