I am blown away by the movement of Jesus in my heart in the last 10-12 days. By the stirrings I know that do not come from myself, but are evidence of the presence and urging of Jesus. I'm comforted to know that they are the sign that Jesus is near....that He longs for me and is calling me to transformation. I can't go get that desire for Him, can't learn it, can't find it, all I can do is create an environment whereby spiritual transformation can take place in me. Develop "rhythms and practices" that keep me open and willing before a loving Savior. HE will do the work, I just need to be open and willing.
Ruth Haley Barton has an amazing book, Sacred Rhythms. I've read the first chapter, and will clearly need to read it again (and again, probably) before I move forward. I'm astonished and amazed at seeing the hand of Jesus in my life.
Thank you, Jesus...
