DAILY MEDITATION | MARCH 14, 2022 – Find Your Own Path to Love by Henri Nouwen
Every time you make free time for God, you clear up a bit of the descending path, and you see where you can plant your feet on the way to love. Nothing spectacular or sensational. It may be simply a matter of what you say, what you read, to whom you speak, where you go on a free afternoon, or how you regard yourself and other people. What’s fascinating is that the first step invariably makes the second one easier. You begin to discover that love begets love, and step-by-step you move further forward on the way to God. Gradually, you shed your misgivings about the way of love; you see that “in love there is no room for fear,” and you feel yourself drawn to descend deeper and deeper on the way that Jesus walked before you.
“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” – JOHN 13:34 (NIV)

Stepping quietly into the life that is uniquely ours to live involves one simple, ongoing prayer, “God, where might I plant my feet right now on my way to your deeper love?”
…because of the tender mercy of our God…the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace (Luke 1:78-79, ESV).
