Don't Be A Hermit

You cannot create a remembrance of God by living a sheltered life devoid of people. Sure, there are those times when you need to go into the silence for a day or even a week or longer, but generally you have to be floating on the River of Life and all that it brings you.

This includes unlimited opportunities for you to grow in your remembrance of God, and some of those best opportunities are the interactions you have with others. Because we can get mad at them, or they can hurt us, right? We can see the devil in another person or group, or we can see God. Obviously, we are here to see God in them, and by doing so we see God in ourselves. Only by putting yourself out there and being willing to embrace the growth opportunities that come from interacting in the world can you do what you came here to do for yourself and the world.
