Henri and Me

Last night I was laying in bed, thinking about spiritual emptiness, and seasons of Dark Nights of The Soul, when it struck me, that I had felt in a dark place for maybe 2 years. a long time, no doubt. My connection to Return of the Prodigal Son and reconnection has lately brought me to a place of understanding that just loving Jesus, is enough. Its enough when the whole world demands everything of you, its enough when it seems like no one emails or calls, its enough when i get laid off, or get a speeding ticket. Things come and go, bad and good, but loving Jesus is my only response to it all. My life is changed because Nouwen whispered a truth that Jesus whispers universally, "You are my beloved, and on you my favor rests."
