Senseless

Many of us take our senses for granted, unless we can’t access them—as anyone knows who’s lost the ability to taste to a stuffy nose.But what if there are all sorts of meaningful experiences you’re missing even when all five senses are functioning? In Scripture God describes the relationship He wants with humanity as highly sensory. That’s why ancient faith was thoroughly experiential, not purely intellectual. Could the distance you sometimes feel in your relationship with God (or others) be the result of being out-of-sync with your senses? What would you do about it if that were true? Could learning to more mindfully see, hear, smell, taste, and touch unleash a level of fulfillment you’ve been too distracted to even know existed?
