Going through the motions...

So often we go through the motions in our spiritual lives. We sing, we pray, we worship, we give the impression that we know that we are God’s beloved. But often in the deep places of our hearts, the assurance is not there; and we know it. We need to come home and let the Spirit of God whisper, “You are God’s beloved.” I cannot tell you who you are. Others cannot tell you who you are. Only the Spirit of God can.

In this time of Lent, spend some time alone with God. Find a place where you can meditate in quiet without being disturbed. Turn your thoughts and prayers on God, asking that He show you His love. You will feel the warmth and security that comes from being in His presence and wrapped in His arms.
