In a world where everyone’s looking down, the most radical thing you can do is look up. Giving someone your full attention is one of the rarest spiritual gifts in our distracted age. Nothing reflects Jesus more than your undivided attention.
We live in an always-on world where every vibration feels like a summons and every alert feels urgent. But constant urgency doesn’t lead to greater faithfulness; it leads to exhaustion. If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.
In a world where every voice fights to be heard, I used to feel like silence meant failure. I thought people needed my opinion on every breaking story. But constant commentary led to constant anxiety. Eventually, I realized the world didn’t need my post; it needed my presence.
