Numb

Question to think about: Are you numb?

Common denominators to people in the Western world include:
Overload.
Pressure.
Aloneness.
Worry.
Anger.
Exhaustion.
Stress.
Numbness.

Numbness masks problems that continue to escalate if nothing changes. Christ, God with us, desires to wake us up from the numbness that so easily settles in . . . to be aware of what really matters:
Jesus said, "Don't bicker among yourselves over me. You're not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me—that's the only way you'll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End. This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, 'And then they will all be personally taught by God.' Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to me to be taught personally—to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from me, since I have it firsthand from the Father. No one has seen the Father except the One who has his Being alongside the Father—and you can see me. (John 6:43-46, The Message)

Christ depicted life as a learning process through the teaching and guidance of God.
It requires a choice . . .
to turn away from numbness,
to wake up,
to get up and go in the way of Christ.

It may seem easier to be numb; however, in the long-term real life will be missed.
Refuse to regret your life.
Engage in life through Christ.
Live real life.

Learning with you to be awake, to get up, and to go in Christ,
