“I have an unquenchable desire to slow down and find my life going deeper in my walk with Christ. I want to meet him in the depths of my soul, away from the stress and press of everything on top. A relationship with Christ is the key to fulfilling our deepest longings. All of life is about filling the void that sin and separation from him have created within. Filling the emptiness with piles of things, earthly friendships, satisfying experiences, and sensual encounters ultimately proves to achieve less than what we had hoped for. Christ is the only one who fits.” WantSoulLife IsDesireChristSinWalksChristianityAchieveKeysFitProveStressDown AndPressesLongingDepthDeeperSeparationMy SoulSensualEncountersEmptinessSatisfyingVoidFulfillingSlow DownFilling Author:Joseph Stowell

“A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of [circumstances]...

“There is a close relationship between a house full of possessions and a heart full of desires, between a cluttered closet and a crowded schedule, between having no place to put possessions and having no priorities for our life. These are precious clues. They remind us to slow down, to live in the present, to reduce the desires that drain our vitality, to clarify priorities so we can give our time and attention to what matters most. Tragically, in the press of modern life, we have managed to get backwards one of life's most vital truths: people are to be loved; things are to be used.” PeopleLoveGivingHeartMatterTruthUsedDesireHouseAttentionOur LivesRelationshipModernPressesPossessionPrioritiesLive LifeOur TimeWhat MattersSchedulesClosetsBackwardsClueSlow DownVitalityModern LifeCrowdedDrainsLive In The PresentPressuredClose RelationshipMost Meaningful Author:Eknath Easwaran
