A 3-year-old was walking along, hand-held by her mum.
As she walked, one shoe slipped off, and she didn't even realized it. It was her mum who saw it and got her to put it on.
It's like...
As we walk with God, hand held by Him. We don't even need to worry about things dropping out of our bag, because He's all that matters. God has captured our attention so fully that we didn't even notice our phone vibrating, our washing machine beeping, our shoes slipping...
Maybe the causal relationship isn't to drop it, then be closer to Him.
Maybe it's to be closer to Him, then we'll drop it. Actually, by that time, to drop it or not, doesn't seem to be a matter of concern anymore.
