Be attentive

Moments can be collected abundantly only if we are attentive. Those lovely moments that we have can be just passing away unappreciated whenever we don’t keep watch. It is especially pretty difficult for us to be ‘attentive’ during hard times. That’s because we tend to focus on the difficult sides of our lives and becomes clouded thus to see the bigger picture. We could miss or overlook such saving occasions provided by the Merciful One when we fail to be attentive. And honestly, it’s not so easy to be attentive these days with so many distractions and cares that swarm us. We need to slow down our lives. We need to deliberately retreat ourselves to the solitary place and pray.

Couple days ago my friends and I had a very heart-warming conversation about what is your most influencing thought which you have. That was very beautiful as we exchange ideas and thoughts. And I couldn’t help but to share what I read from Mother Gavrilia on everything is sent by God, thus keep saying Yes to God. As we are being attentive toward each other, I feel that we are so overjoyed with the reflection on the love of God and how He is everywhere present.
Really, it is essential for us to be mindful and attentive in any encounter which we have.  The powerful and sanctifying prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God have mercy on me” help us to remain focus and attentive to God.

Even smallest change that we made in our endeavour to really care and to pause ourselves to stop thinking only what matters for us, but to cling our thoughts to God and to the need of others will bring forth such difference in our approach to love.
