A friend and I were talking about time, and timing, and shifts and all manner of other things that impact our lives, and suddenly... a question, a revelation.
God is beyond time. He sees all, He knows all, and His timing has nothing to do with hours and minutes and days and weeks and all these things that we finite human beings use to track our lives. No, God's timing has everything to do with the state of our hearts, and the "when" of the becoming.
And so I wondered aloud if perhaps those of us who have very little concept of the passage of time are somehow "closer to the heart of God" because of it.
What a thought.
Because it means that, when we "lose ourselves" in that which He has called us to, we are truly acting within His will and within His heart. When I am creating and I lose track of the time, it is because I am closer to Him at that moment than I am when I'm watching the clock to see when I get to leave class, or work, or whatever I feel is binding me.
Wow.
