"If I could have a gentle "Interiority"- a heart of flesh and not of stone, a room with some spots on which one might walk barefooted-then God and my fellow humans could meet each other there. Then the center of my heart can become the place where God can hear the prayer for my neighbors and embrace them with His love." Henri Nouwen
Truly a look at intercession from within. How comfortable is the interior of my heart? Is it a place where the weary can come and find rest for their soul? Is it a place filled with Joy that will be strength for those in need? Is it a place where Jesus can sit down and relax from His day, a place where we can talk about our friends, and share what they need, where I am in agreement with Him?
WOW this will be a long week or two as this heart of mine becomes the legal and desired dwelling place of God, and from this place we will share and invite others to come and experience His great love, mercy and peace. So often I have lots of excuses why we should meet at some other house, really Lord let's just go to your place, you don't have to clean up for company....
Never thought of my heart as the gathering place....how unique, what a privilege and what a great way to change my prayer life. love ya Jesus
