The more I become aware of God's presence in my life, the more I thirst to know this Sacred One at an ever deeper and deeper level. Like a cup that seemingly has more and more room to be filled, so I feel that my capacity to be united with God keeps expanding. The more I know how loved I am by God (the more my cup is filled) the more I am always thirsting for more of God (seeing how much room the cup still has in it to receive).
When I think about the spiritual life, I think of a life with God that is healthy and vibrant. The root and foundation of this life is relationship. This relationship may have many struggles, crooked paths, and hidden corners but at the core there is a bond that is deep and strong. This relationship feeds and nourishes my inner self and gives a vitality and vibrancy to all of my life.
