Underhill: the spiritual life

Thursday, March 21, 2013
Meditation:
    As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
    —Mark 2:14 (NIV)
Quotation:
    For a spiritual life is simply a life in which all that we do comes from the centre, where we are anchored in God: a life soaked through and through by a sense of His reality and claim, and self-given to the great movement of His will.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, do I have parts that refuse to follow You? CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
