We often speak of an athlete playing with reckless abandon, which means that they play the game with boldness, seemingly not caring for their own personal safety. Most of my athletic pursuits have not involved playing this way, especially in my current state (golf probably should not be played that way, if it is possible to do so), but I can remember my softball days frequently sliding into second base, trying to stretch a routine single into a surprising double.
How does all of that relate to the OC for today? To get the full gist of the reading at http://www.myutmost.org/02/0221.html will take me several times, but maybe it is because abandonment to God fully, is not in my life style.
Intellectually I understand what this is, but experiencing it is another matter. I am having a hard enough time discovering what loving God really is, how much further away is complete abandon?
To get myself completely out of the way and just bask in His presence, now that would be something!
Amen
