“Above all, trust the slow work of God.”
~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reflection:
Where in your life is God inviting you to slow down and trust His unfolding work?
Scripture:
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6
To love at all costs
to love in the face of pain
to love with a broken heart
to love anyway
to love anyway
to love anyway
to love anyway
to
love
anyway
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where is God inviting you to love “anyway” today, even in places of pain or tenderness?
Scripture:
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8
Lord when I try to please
anyone but you
I fall short of your glory
yours alone
is the love for which
my heart longs
you are the living water
to quench
my perpetual thirst
the bread of life
to satisfy
the hunger in my soul
anything less
is vanity
as it is written
man cannot serve
two masters
my life belongs to you
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where in your life do you still try to please others instead of seeking your identity and fulfillment in God alone?
Scripture:
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” — Matthew 6:24
“God is the last sound we should make before falling silent.”
~Karl Rahner
How can making God the focus of our silence enhance our spiritual practice and deepen our relationship with Him?
