Rest in God’s Love
I have found that resting takes on a whole new meaning when you invite yourself to not only rest, but to rest in God’s love. This focus brings on a deeper dimension. It is an invitation to open yourself up—mind, body, and soul—to replenish at the core of your being.
Embrace Your Questions
What do you do when your questions have no answers? Or no good answers? When no answers bring comfort? What about when there is more than one answer, leaving you unsure which to believe? Start by sitting with these questions. Let them linger. Give them space to breathe. Think of them as seeds being planted in your heart.
Celebrate
If the amount of suffering around the world has you feeling frustrated or sad, you may read this and think, “What? The last thing we should be talking about right now is celebrating!” Or maybe you have a number of reasons to celebrate. Regardless of your initial reaction, I invite you this month to ponder the importance and meaning of celebrations as a vital part of our personal and spiritual growth.
What do you hope for when you pray for God's guidance? How do you cry out to God in your most frustrating or darkest moments? What words come out? You may not know how to answer these questions, and that is okay. If you are listening for signs of hope, I invite you to begin by expanding your mind and heart to all the ways God is showing you them in the present moment.
