As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about “DETACHMENT”.
When should we detach from people? When we are hooked into reacting with anger, fear, guilt, or shame? Is it when our mind gets focused on revenge, and we plot how to protect ourselves? This is when we need to think about detaching for a time, so we don’t act out of pain, and let space and time help HEAL the issue.
What’s most important is that we find our inner peace. Getting centered and restoring balance will help us. We can do practical things like breathing deeply or exercising. As we center ourselves, we can look at the issue differently. The Holy Spirit will guide us to a new approach.
Today, if someone or something makes you react in anger, fear, shame, or guilt, step back, center in the moment, and, with God, let HIM take you to a safe place where you can bring HIS peace into the situation. When you find this place, you will find the PEACE and the connection you need.
Have a blessed day.
