The District Church

``He resists these things. Those things are not what should define us, or give us direction or give us identity. We intentionally and consistently run to the one who does. When we are withdrawing, we are running to the one who gives us clarity on our call, clarity on our mission, clarity on what we need to do. Withdrawal then is also an act of protection because what Jesus is doing when he steps away, he's protecting his time with the father or his attentiveness even to the father, clarity even about the mission that he has. Let me say this, when everything and everyone has access to you, nothing and no one has the best of you. If everything has access to you, your your attention is always divided. Your your your energy is always pulled. Your your soul is always reacting to everything that is happening around you. And and when everything has access to you, nothing, not even God has you fully.
