We are always in the presence of God. Moses was commanded to remove his sandals because the ground on which he stood was holy; he was in the presence of Almighty God. We are always in His presence - every moment is sacred. This is an intoxicating reality.
I am loved by God and that truth should ignite every moment, every activity of my life.
"Brother Lawrence says that 'our sanctification did not depend upon changing our works, but in doing that for God's sake which we commonly do for our own.'" (Transformed into Fire, p. 198)
"...live a God-enthralled life....everything we do is aflame with love." (197)
This struck a cord with me.

I spend way too much time plucking blackberries
