You see there are many of us who are good at understanding things in our minds or even knowing 'facts' in an intellectual sense, but we battle to let this information sink deeply into the core of our being. As we are all aware, there is a massive difference between knowing about something and actually believing it with conviction.
Henri Nouwen wrote a simple prayer on this theme and I love the way he captures this idea:
"Dear Lord,
Show me your kindness and your gentleness,
you who are meek and humble of heart.
So often I say to myself, 'The Lord loves me,'
but very often this truth does not enter
into the centre of my heart."
Worth thinking about today, BUT even better if we allow these thoughts to transform our hearts.
Living in Grace
