The document discusses the nature of God and one's relationship with God. It prompts the reader to reflect on whether they truly believe God is real and the priority of God in their life. The reader is encouraged to spend time in silent prayer imagining themselves at Jesus' feet. It also addresses that change comes through allowing the Holy Spirit to accompany one in facing their wounds, and that one's identity is found in their relationship with Christ as described in various Bible verses.
2. “Today the heart of God is an open wound of
love. He aches over our distance and
preoccupation. He mourns that we do not
draw near to him. He grieves that we have
forgotten him. He weeps over our obsession
with muchness and manyness. He longs for
our presence.” - Richard Foster
3. Are you projecting your own attitudes and
feelings of yourself onto God?
Who is (INSERT YOUR NAME?)
What is your identity?
Do I believe that God, heaven and eternity
are real?
What habits do I not want to take into
eternity?
4. Do I really buy into this?
What am I here for?
What is this human experiment for?
How often do I sit still in silence and rest in
God’s presence?
When I pray do I imagine myself at the feet
of Jesus?
5. Are you willing to face persecution for what
you believe? Is God really first in your life?
Do you want him to be?
Change is not given in human strength but it
is founded by God through the movement of
the Holy Spirit.
Change begins on our knees…by allowing
God to accompany us to our wounds, he will
go with us but we must give him the
emotions related to the wound…
