| Heart Speaks to Heart The spiritual life means that the Spirit of Love is given to us so that we can live with that Spirit within us. With that Spirit in us, we are able to recognize the same Spirit in the world. The Spirit blows where it wants, so the Spirit is everywhere. It’s in the people who are dying, people with AIDS, people who are broken, and people with disabilities. To watch for Christ in the world is to see that the spirit within us recognizes the Spirit among us so that the spirit speaks to Spirit, heart speaks to Heart, love speaks to Love. To watch for Christ is to be attentive to the presence of Christ in the world and in our heart. It’s not a kind of emotional or intellectual gymnastics. If we carry God in our hearts, we see God in the world. “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” – Psalm 90: 2 |
