I've been unable to sleep and I feel as if God has been pulling on my heart, removing some insecurities and speaking fresh truth into me. I'm still thinking about Easter and what it means to me. Christ's sacrifice really did change the tables. Deserve and earn have new meanings now. Which is strange as we tend to spend our uni degrees, careers and lives seeking to obtain them as that is how we can be graded and/or promoted. They are societal markers of worth.
The application of this in an extendable example:
I don't want to walk down the aisle feeling I deserve him. I want to walk down the aisle knowing he is a gift.
What I turned my computer on for is this: I want to know if there are certain hours which are more spiritual for you or when you feel more prompted, can hear better or simply 'think-deeper'?
Reading this, you could assume that the wee hours of the morning are this for me... Really I think the power of God just hits me in times of significance, as that is when he needs to speak a huge degree of truth into me. The 'dead hours of the evening or early hours of the morning' often provide this time for me, a time to process, reflect and think. A time of connection with God.
Hi Astrid,
ReplyDeleteI think there are times which are sacralised for the individual. When I feel transcendence and spiritual euphoria is also early in the morning, when I am going for a walk or immersed in nature. This is further amplified on my overseas venture. I sit there and feel the gooseflesh rise as I take in the enormity of it all and just sit... I also think that time of the morning is special for me as I know simultaenously other Buddhists (monks especially) are either up for the morning prayers or are engaged in Tak baht.
