Let It Be

To be or not to be? That is the question.

Shakespeare was right when he wrote that into his play, Hamlet. It is a crucial question of life and often our society chooses the not to be. One of the most difficult things to do in this world is BE. We don't like to wait. We don't like to be patient, and it's hard to be patient. I think that if we as Christians really tried to put the spiritual discipline of patience into practice, so many things would change. As I'm thinking back on the life of Jesus, I realize he was so good at stopping for the one. The one dying man, the one sick leper, the one hurting woman. When was the last time you remember stopping your busy, hectic life for one person? When was the last time you put your agenda aside and let God's agenda take the lead? If you're like me and are having a hard time remembering the last time you did, or you can only remember a few times you did, then maaaaaaybe you and I should both re-prioritize a little bit. But it's so much harder to do right? It's hard to give up out precious precious time. What would happen if you did stop? What if the person asks you for money? What if they make you (dare I say it) uncomfortable? What if they make you late?!?!?!

Or what if they ask you about Jesus and you get to share your testimony? What if all that person needs is for someone to tell them that they matter and you save their life?

The Beatles were totes preaching it when they wrote Let It Be - "speaking words of wisdom LET IT BE"

I know God has been singing that song to me for a while trying to get the message across. Asking me, BEGGING me to just stop my day and be. I can't tell you how refreshing, wonderful and important it is to just *inhale* *exhale* ...be and let God take control. It's scary, and I'm not very good at it, but every day I'm trying more and more to just be and let God take the lead.
