There is a hidden place within us where every action begins—not in our hands, not even in our words, but in the quiet chamber of intention. The saints remind us that purity of intention is what frees us to forget ourselves, to seek first the glory of God, and to trust that whatever we surrender in love becomes, mysteriously, our blessing.

I’ve been sitting with Rumi’s words that attracted me a few months ago:

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God.” These words from 1 John 4:7–16 draw us into the heart of the Christian mystery: God is love, and every movement toward love is already a movement into God’s own life.
