Being barefoot has certain social connotations.  We may be seen as informal, at ease, or perhaps that we’re in a familiar setting.  In some cultures it is polite to remove your shoes before crossing a threshold.  And often, only when barefoot may we approach holy ground.

My life has been an exercise in searching for the sacred in our modern world.  Some days it feels harder than others to find a place where I can breathe and be fully engaged in Truth. 

And yet. 

We are called to engage with our Savior in the easy times and in the difficult ones.  Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus’ disciples, Mary, the woman at the well–all were called to a higher purpose than they ever imagined before they met the Lord.  By saying ‘yes’ to the call, their lives became richer than they ever would have been on their own power.

So, I’m faced with a choice.  I can ignore the calling of the Spirit in my life and go on living my own way.  Or, I can daily make the choice to approach a sacred God, barefoot in heart and soul, and to engage with the One who calls me to a higher life.
