Somebody really smart said that a concert pianist, if they miss a day of practice, they feel it.

Miss a day.

And if they miss several days of practice, everybody feels it.

Oh, wow.

I think that's true of me in my home, for instance, just spiritually.

If you got kids, you got people who are around you who are vulnerable or depend on you or whatever, like man, you miss like interacting with God spiritually, walking with him.

You take a little vacation from him.

Everybody kind of pays for that.

Please remember this.

I have to remember it too.

People are looking for a blessing. Not like a like a gift, a

small gift. Like it's a little nice blessing. Thanks for the orchid. More like more like the blessing.

Like may God's face shine upon you in life. May he walk with you. They want to know that God still loves them.

At a deep level, people feel cursed, generally.

They're looking for this blessing.

And like Dallas Willard said, without that blessing, the soul just dies.

And that's why people are so close to anger all the time is because they already feel

kind of cursed.

And then whatever you just did, just send them over the edge with feeling cursed but they're looking for a people

the people who are supposed to be are people who are people of blessing totally fair to do this

to ask God to help you want more of him.

If you're not finding yourself that way.
