Losing ourselves can be a good thing or a bad thing spiritually.
Losing ourselves…
In the expectations of others in order to find love
In the supposed glamour of the lives that others live
In a desire for the things that other people own
In a self-medicated flight from reality
In the past
In the future
These are typically bad for us spiritually.
Losing ourselves…
In the moment
In the needs of others
In the presence of God
In the pursuit of what Jesus described as the pearl of great price
Those are good ways of getting lost.
Are you lost? And if you are, are you lost in all the right ways and in all the right places?
