Perhaps like many, you alternate between spending time in both the past and future, thus avoiding the treasures, which only a life experienced in the present moment can bring. This practice robs us of so much of the joy, aliveness and fulfillment, which is our birthright.

Experiencing God’s Presence – Dwell
