Devotion From Pastor Kathryn: June 24, 2021

6/24/2021

 
“God is humble and never comes if not first invited,
but God will find some clever way to get invited.”
(Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps, by Richard Rohr)

Kristian’s Godfather recently sent me this book on the 33rd anniversary of my sobriety. I’ve just finished it and have really enjoyed it. When I came across this line, I underlined it and put a star in the margin!

We’re moving into the summertime – so it’s a good time to sit on your porch or back patio or go for a walk and spend some time with God. Pray to be open to the “clever” ways God is inviting you to approach God. You don’t necessarily have to talk. You can just “be” with God.

God’s blessings shine upon you as you heed God’s invitations.

In Christ’s Love,
Pastor Kathryn

P.S. Many thanks for your prayers for my knee surgery on Monday!
