Spiritual intentionality connects us with God and with what He sees, celebrates, and weeps over. #TheSacredSlow

How must Jesus feel when His disciples recognize Him? When the smog of self thins enough for us to realize that all He does, He does for love?

A troubled soul is not always the sign of a faith deficit. A troubled soul is sometimes the signature of obedience-in-the-making.

Ask God to reveal to you the power this world’s sounds have in your life. Then ask Him to reveal to you the power His sounds have in your soul.

Consistently throughout Scripture, God expresses His frustration with religiosity. The appearance of faith without the fruit of faith and worshipful words without a worship-filled heart are, in Jesus’ words, “vain.”

Being present is a prerequisite to truly listening. Others, especially children, can tell when our thoughts are too loud to hear theirs.

[Eugene Peterson @PetersonDaily]

Prayer and poetry are the closest of kin. In poetry we say it; in prayer we become what we say…

God never wanted to use you. He has always longed to love you. #TheSacredSlow

@aliciachole Ouch but grateful hey xx

The Father's work in us does not sleep - though in spiritual winters he retracts all advertisement. And when he does so, he is purifying our faith, strengthening our character, conserving our energy, and preparing us for the future. #TheSacredSlow

Passionate visionaries know they are uniquely made, but they can easily confuse experiencing God for being intimate with God. The blush of a dream pursued, the rush of a dream fulfilled. Adrenaline, mistaken for devotion, can propel them from vision to vision. #TheSacredSlow

One of the most beautiful elements of the Christmas story is Mary’s heart to trust God’s goodness. Do our children see us model this same kind of trust in Him?

God’s sound bookends the human story on earth from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. #TheSacredSlow

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't.”
