Reflections for contemplative living

“If we do not risk anything for God we will never do anything great for Him.”
–St. Louis De Montfort

Recently I’ve risked being satisfied.

Savor was my focus word last year. A time where I slowed down enough to really, see, enjoy, taste, smell and touch what was before me. In essence I was practicing the sacrament of the present moment.

The stillness of the present moment is where we find God. It’s a place where we find joy, connection and be thankful. We are nourished and satisfied.

God revealed how in my striving and doing, I lost sight of satisfaction. Through my distrust, I turned to my will rather than His, where forcing my solutions rather than trusting and waiting on His became my norm. Like quicksand, the shaky ground I stood on was one of lack and scarcity. Through allowing God to heal my heart, I now realize I am standing on a solid foundation of trust and abundance.

What a gift this is to be satisfied and share my peaceful heart with others. It’s actually a miracle and Gods visible work today.

How will you risk growing with God this new year?
