Something to Contemplate
Note: This week’s devotions are designed to help us journey deeper; the thoughts, insights and prayers come from various pens of writers who influence my spiritual awareness. Hope you enjoy!
Words on Spiritual Growth from Gerald May
Addiction and Grace (1988)
“…The spiritual growth process involves far more relinquishment than acquisition. We are conditional to expect growth to involve acquisition of new facts and understandings….. We have, in a way, become attached to the very process of expanding our attachments. But spiritual growth is different. It cannot be packaged, programmed or taught. The essential process is one of transformation, not education. …. Contemplation is simply trying to face life in a truly undefended and open-eyed way….”
