So many mechanisms constantly interact within the body...such as blood sugar fluctuations and the binding of iron to red blood cells, the brain's interpretation of visual information and the rebuilding of muscle. The body is such a mysterious system, fearfully and wonderfully made. Now I see that clearly, and so I must respect and care for this wonderful creation.
Though I know God is near, and I hear His voice and see Him working...at times I still feel somewhat distant from Him. Why? Maybe like Sean mentioned, I ought to stop following current events so closely and pay more attention to the immediate present.
Also, I feel a bit depressed and lonely, especially with the lockdown and "social distancing" nonsense. Though I long for friends, they're difficult to come by....Friendship seems like a distant memory, since I've been alone for such a long time. Spiritually, I feel that "social distancing" began in people's hearts long before the 2020 mandate. Chatting around a campfire or dinner table with friends seems like a quaint relic from the past....Everyone is so busy with school, working, social media, and generally running from here to there.
For a long time I've felt closer to Heaven than this world, and I long to be there with God and my little brother. Yet I know the time isn't right...not yet. In any case, as I travel through life in this world, I will constantly be looking toward eternity.
