Spiritual food

We really hit deep waters last Tuesday. Somehow, I feel our spiritual 'core' muscles getting stronger and stronger.

Here are some of the readings from Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer we discussed.

"Human love binds, spiritual love serves"

"It is better to talk to Christ about a brother than it is to talk to a brother about Christ."

"In spiritual love, Jesus Christ stands between the lover and the one being loved."

Dallas Willard quote - "Transformation of life involves an inward journey of devotion and an outward journey of loving others concretely."

Philippians 3:10-16

Returning

Here is the poem Kathy shared last night.....to think what has happened in my life since writing this almost a year ago. WOW!

Returning

I want to be compassionate not comparative

I want to be forgiving not bitter

I want to open my arms not walk away

I want to embrace not judge

I want to be full of joy not cynical

I want to be love not fear

I want to have more of Him not less of me
