Flying round the light

Flying round the light
"EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR YOU!"
MARK 1:37 NIV

Ever watched a moth fly around a light? There's the whole room to fly around in, yet they keep as close as possible to the light! Their focus never moves off the light. They stick to their agenda!
God wants you to be that focused on Him! All sorts of stuff will fly by your life, trying to distract you from Jesus. People will throw their opinions at you, trying to get you doing what they think you should be doing. Spend time with God, get to know what you should be doing from Him, and don't do anything different.
In Mark 1: 33-34 you can read how, 'The whole town gathered...and Jesus healed many'. As you can imagine, the next morning another crowd of needy people were waiting on His doorstep, but how Jesus responded this time might surprise you. 'While it was still dark, Jesus...left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed...his companions went to look for him, and when they found him they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!" Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else...so I can preach there also. That is why I have come"' (vs 35-38). What was He thinking? There were headlines to be made, fans waiting to pat Him on the back! How good would that have been? Not as good as focusing on God's plans. He wants you to do the same. Word4U2Day

Like the concept, yet the words that came to me was "fly toward the light." Sometimes things can get dark in our life, and when they do, we need to cling to the light and not forget it is there, even if we can't always see it in the moment.

Also like the thought, fly through the light and it will light your path. It is my desire that my God works through me not around me. When I go round, that means I can detach, not do my part, and the stinking thinking comes back, and I become the god of my world.

I remember going to Toronto with women from the Women's AA Discussioin Group, early recovery, to see the taping of a TV show (can't remember the name). Coming home, I absorbed all the lights and I was HIGH on the lights around me. So self absorbed, feeling above everything, and it was a good feeling, but for the most part, not the right attitude. Was grateful for the opportunity, and was lucky enough to go with a group of girls from NA to the Dini Petty Show. By then, I was more balanced and grounded in reality.

In early recovery, we were taught to do the colour meditation. When you sit in the quiet, close your eyes, and the colour spectrum appears: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and working through to the white light.
