“God’s Got This”

One of the nice things about this retreat has been finding a notebook from other retreatants in the lap drawer of the desk.  It was good to read what other pilgrims have written.

So, I decided to add my own words.  Here they are, even though you are not in room 201 at Gethsemani.  What is true in room 201 is also true wherever you are right now.

“So, you have come to Gethsemani seeking God, seeking direction.  Me too.

It is not in finding God that we find Him.  Rather, it is in the seeking itself.  Those who seek are already blessed (Psalm 119:2).

And of course, God is seeking you and me, isn’t He?  The incarnation and the cross both say that pretty clearly.

My frantic seeking is, however, not always helpful.  Focusing on the God who is seeking me involves relaxing into God’s love, grace, and my true identity in Christ.

So relax!  God’s got this—no matter what your “this” is!”
