life is short. sometimes we become acutely aware of just how short it is; everything else becomes a little sharper, and our perspective is refreshed on what really matters.
spending time with God does that too. it's all too easy to become completely stressed and focused on a problem or situation which is blown way out of proportion. time spent with God allows him to redefine our thinking, our motivations, our obsessions.
it enables him to give us new strength to cope with situations that are hard to take in, and encourages us to chat to him more, and let him in on all of who we are. i remember someone once saying that he's not going to force his way in and will only fill whatever space we make for him, so it's a conscious effort on our part to not fill our lives with things that won't last. interesting...
