WOW – an inspirational and aspirational Henri Nouwen Society post from January 3 is HERE!
Now, to figure out how to TRULY make Jesus the Center of One’s Life… This line is heavy with opportunity:
The thousands of people, events, ideas, and plans that occupy my inner life must become all one in the one and only name: Jesus.
How to do this?
- Henri Nouwen provides some thought along these lines in his book Finding Our Sacred Center. Perhaps it’ll find its way on the reading list?
- Short of that, the summary HERE of Nouwen’s book In the Name of Jesus probably provides some key nuggets?
Thanks to Henri Nouwen Society for their continued sharing of inspiration!
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit and continuing the experiences of Christmastide season!
