“This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Jeremiah 31:33)
Daring to journey within and to discover the law of God engraved deeply in our hearts means life. Another voice may try persistently to tell us that God's will means loss, a denial of our greatest longings, and an existence of stoic endurance. These lies keep us from fullness of life and the joy that comes from discovering that in the deepest part of ourselves we are at one with the Creator in what we truly desire.
-- Elizabeth J. Canham in "How Long, O Lord?" from “The Weavings Reader”
