NEXT BIG STEP - by Calvin Wulf
Spiritual Growth~
Where are you going? The idea that success goes with being a good Christian is an illusion of the world. There comes a point in spiritual growth when your sense of certainty becomes unsure. You begin to ponder deeper questions about who you are. You might even start asking who is God.
Your next big step may be to get away from your endless activity, sit down and be still. Don't move on until you know who is God. When you are ready to let go of accomplishing and embrace your new found sense of vulnerability, then you can approach those questions of your heart. There, you will begin to encounter who you are inside.
Make plans for times of silence and solitude . Keep times of silence and take time to be alone as intentional spiritual disciplines. Listen for the voice that is stirring inside you. It may be that you will hear the true voice of God for the very first time.

Aha! Thought you meant big step!! Yes, silence and solitude are a big part of my journey right now. Partly because my mom sleeps a lot and mostly because I need to rest in the arms of God - just nowhere else to go!

You have chosen the best part. It is safer and less painful to run around outside and hide than it is to look inside where we hold our tears. But inside is also the place where we meet with Jesus. Peace to you, Linda.

I too believe that the best part to feel god is to have silence and to ask yourself about yourself and once you will know that who you are you will feel jesus inside you too.
