Here’s a prayer of incredible love and beauty. I hope that one day I will pray like this and mean it. “My God, here I am before You, poor, little, stripped of everything. Here I am at Your feet, sunk in the depths of my own nothingness. I wish I had something to offer You, […]

Praise the Lord, but praise Him from the very roots of your being, that is, let not only your tongues and voices praise the Lord, but also your consciences, your lives, and all that you do.

God is near. God is here. God dwells among you. God dwells within you. He is what you long for, hunger for, thirst for. Seek no longer and let yourself be found by the very answer you sought. Be found by Truth. Be held by Love. Be adored by Beauty. Enter God’s presence in you […]
