Margin

Question to think about: Do you have margin?

Time often dictates how we live. In our culture, people tend to rush through the day without leaving margin to experience life. Margin is the created space in life that allows breathing room. Without margin life becomes a race at a high speed pace.

Without margin, we are absorbed with what we have to do and miss Life. Look at what happened to the people who were left on the other side of the sea . . . they could not figure out what had happened:

The next day the crowd [that still remained] standing on the other side of the sea realized that there had been only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves.John 6:212, Amplified)
The people failed to be aware of what Jesus was doing.
Too often we know Christ is present but we fail to be aware of the work of Christ, God with us.
The whole point to living is to be fully engaged in an active ongoing relationship with Christ . . . to listen and to go where Christ is going . . . to experience the work of Christ in and through our life . . . which requires margin.
STOP!
Become aware of the presence of Christ.
Determine to slow your pace with margin in the day.
Experience Life.

Learning with you to live with margin,
Shalom,
Kerrie
