Sensuous Living

Impact living should be context living. Context living necessitates sensuous living. My calling as a follower of Jesus in any given moment should be guided by:

• Where I am - Place
  
• Who I am with - People
  
• What I have - Provisions

Whether I am in my neighborhood or on the other side of the planet for ten days, the role that God would have me play in this world is based on these three dynamics.

The challenge arises in that observation is mandatory, which is more of a difficulty for some than others. However, we can sensitize our senses over time to the realities of the world around us. Begin concentrically. Look to the place, people and provisions immediately around you. Learn to pay attention. Tune your senses to the world around you - what you see, hear, smell, touch, and even taste. The more we are willing to pay attention through our God-given senses, the less we will find our resources wasted. Attention, when paid, is a good investor of resources. Our senses help make sense of the world.

So, begin living sensuously.
