Tell Me

If you are passionately in love with someone who you've been away from for a time, and they are now standing a hundred feet away from you, is your determination or interest in reaching them lessened if the room is crowded with people, rather than if the room were empty?

If that love and desire are real, hindrances will only heighten your determination and cause you to redouble your efforts, won't they? If other factors distract you, is it not simply because your love is not as great as it should be? So it is with meditation. If your love for Jesus is what it should be, then outside factors may slow you down in reaching your goal, but they could never prevent you from reaching it.
