The Pathway to Loving God More*:


~ Get alone with God. Meet him in your place of refreshment: a walk, painting, journaling, singing, dancing, being alone.

~ Posture your heart towards him. In every situation, choose not to work hard, not to do more, but simply, to love God.

~ Imagine him delighting in you. Imagine him smiling down upon you as you invite him into the hiccups, hurdles and the down moments of your day

~ Seek his guidance and leading in the little decisions, the words you speak and even your thoughts. Keep returning in need and he’ll feed you with his wisdom.

~ Let God’s heart become yours. Do your work, do your life, allowing his goal to be yours. Let the outcome of love, rule your intentions. Let the pursuit of peace be your ultimate cause.
