"The more deeply you are connected to God and His love, the less you need the approval of people and can live out your God-given, unrepeatable life." My 1-sentence summary of how Moses was able to quit being afraid of what other people thought and could say yes to God.
How can I be in communion w/ other people if I am not in communion w/ myself? How can I be in a healthy relationship w/ others if I am not in healthy relationship w/ myself? How can I be intimate w/ you if I am not intimate w/ me? #slowdown#ehdiscipleship
We don't question the Bible; The Bible questions us. The issue is not what questions I have to ask the Bible but what questions does the Bible have of me? #ehdiscipleship
Saying, "enough" at the end of the day, closing up shop, and walking away is part of discipleship also-- seeing the obstacle of limited time as gift from His hand.
"When we are hungry to experience God's loving presence near us and believe we are searching for God, it is important to ask ourselves whether we are truly seeking God or pursuing spiritual experience." (From Holy Invitations by Jeanette A. Bakke)
Perfectionism is the belief that something is broken - you. We try to make up for that brokenness w/ accomplishments, degrees, approval from others- none of which can fix us. Only total acceptance and love for ourselves thru a deep experience of the gospel of grace can heal us.
"The less we pray the less we are likely to live the risky, challenging life that the Gospels urge us to." (From 'Contact with God,' Anthony De Mello) --- Oh Father, teach me to pray!
Sufficient silence at Jesus' feet... feeling/listening....and then, when the time is ripe, answering the question: "What is God's invitation to you?" #spiritualdirection#abundantlife
