Developing a rhythm of talking and listening to our Triune God is difficult to put into words. A critic might say that it is self delusion but knowing that you know He is there and that He deeply loves us is an experience full of joy, despite the chaos or pain. It’s one thing to know the truth of God’s presence intellectually, but it’s another to experience it personally. This devotional series is a deeper devotion to Him and nothing less.
“Go to him. All that means is, open yourself up to him. Let him love you. The Christian life boils down to this: Go to Jesus. Whatever is crumbling all around you in your life, wherever you feel stuck, this remains, un-deflectable: his heart for you, the real you, is gentle and lowly. So go to him. That place in your life where you feel most defeated, he is there; he lives there, right there, and his heart for you, not on the other side of it but in that darkness, is gentle and lowly. Your anguish is his home. Go to him. “If you knew his heart, you would.” - Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
