“Morning check in: What are you attending to today?
You are doing hard and holy things and, as we keep company with Jesus on the way, our hearts turn our attention to what we attend to… to what we keep paying attention to.
Because the reality is:
What we pay attention to – is how we spend our lives.
Pay attention mostly to the news – and we spend our one life on headlines.
Pay attention mostly to screens – and we spend our days mostly in a digital haze.
Pay attention mostly to the negative – and we spend the only life we have – on the very things that we wish weren’t.
It turns out? We gain more – of whatever we pay attention to.
So the question always really is: What do we actually really want more of?
Whatever way you gaze – grows greater.
Pay attention to Love – and you are loaned more Love.
Pay attention to the good and the beautiful – and you buy your soul more good and beautiful.
Attend to (Abba) God – because this is the best way to tend to your own soul.
What you attend to – tends to grow.
