Experienced this sentiment the past two years like I haven't ever before. As a matter of fact, I've been pondering the idea but had never read/heard/seen it put so succinctly. Thank you for sharing.
Being all there requires work and is accompanied by multiple, often competing, emotions. Wisdom has also taught me that professional and personal discipline is a foundation to being all there. I want to be all there at work, in my marriage, as a father, in my church community, in my hobbies, etc.
I think the apostle Paul would've shaken Jim Elliot's hand for so practically summarizing his writings to the Colossians: "whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
I've never been all there, according to my therapist.
But seriously, this is a good message, one I probably need to take to heart since I am rarely all there.
I am Jeff Allen by the way! 😁
Ah, that makes sense now
