Our inner space will probably be a lifelong struggle, Nancy. I am beginning to imagine this space is like that spare room, where everything gets jammed into we don’t know where to put or want to hide and not take the time to deal with. No wonder it gets so cluttered. Love your heart for God!!

I, too, find that a quiet time removed from distractions, with Bible, journal, other reading matter, help me experience God, hear his voice, and respond to Him. With you, I am still learning and being formed in this discipline. But I don’t see that as a failure or a disappointment. I’m grateful that, for as long as God leaves me on Planet Earth, there will always be more of Him to discover. ‘Loved that quote of Thomas Keating, AND that delightful painting of Jesus with the little girl–playing with her toes as preschoolers do! Wonderful post, Jean–practical and inspiring.

Thanks Martha, this was a tough post to write and it is a topic that is more vague and hard to explain. I think you experience it more than explain it. Glad you liked that photo. I really do too

At times, I’ve done all of these, just not on the daily basis I should be doing them. This will improve! 🙂
I also love that picture of Jesus listening to the child – what a poignant and loving reminder that our Father truly wants to hear from us, and cares so deeply for us.
Blessings!
