Midweek Meditation: "Being Still to Perfectly Reflect Christ"

Who are we reflecting? In our rush from place to place, with our schedule filled with all kinds of activities, it is hard to be still. Yet, stillness and silence play an important part in spirituality. For spirituality is about our awareness of the presence of God and the movement of the Holy Spirit. Without the time to be still, it is hard to be able to catch the wind, and to reflect the glory of God.

Like the still waters below, it is only when the waters are perfectly still, that the surroundings can be perfectly reflected. It takes a still heart to reflect the quiet beauty of God.

Still waters reflect the beauty of the landscape. A soul stilled in Christ reflects the beauty of God's grace.

A Good Friday Moment

Today is Good Friday. Take a moment to reflect on the price Jesus had paid for us.

"This prayer is where earth meets heaven. From earth, one floats the deepest desires of the heart. From heaven, one receives the ultimate instructions from God. Surrender lifts earth up to heaven. Obedience brings heaven down to earth." (Sabbathwalk)

Midweek Meditation: "Blessed Christmas!"

 

"Christmas day declares that he dwelt among us. . . This is the festival which makes us know, indeed, that we are members of one body; it binds together the life of Christ on earth with his life in heaven; it assures us that Christmas day belongs not to time but to eternity." (Frederick Denison Maurice, 1805-1872)
