FROM Brennan Manning:” Have you been son-bathing or soaking in a hot tub with the love of God. “ It is like coming out of the sun and everybody can see what you have been doing.
During this time at stay at home, have you took the opportunity to worship God and experience the love that he has for you. Were you able to color and play with bubbles like a child. A retreat that Brennan went on the leader gave him some crayons and bubbles. This was to bring him back into childhood, so he can experience the child like faith we are suppose to.have. Children are powerless and so are we as
an adult. This whole lock down makes us even more powerless in this world. We know who is in control and that is God.
For me I tend to work and be busy because that is what I was taught as a child.. We did not take the
time to bask with the son to experience is love for us. What I am finding out that I need to be in the
word and worshiping with Him. This keeps me in the present and in the positive. When I don’t I start to think bad things about me. He loves to wrap His arms around you and smother you in His love.
Worshiping is like basking in the sun and when you get through people should be able to see the light of the Lord a pond you. You should be smiling huge and you can’t stop doing it.
Have you basked or taken a hot bath in the Love of the Lord?
