A friend wrote the following:
What does it mean for action to cease and simply to be in his presence? That night, I realized I barely know what that looks like. Can we engage with God in complete stillness of body and mind? That seems inimical to how I have conceptualized the Christian walk for all these years--i.e., one of action, initiated primarily by me...heretical, that?
And I'm so glad because this is something I've been working on the last week too. It's an encouragement and confirmation that I'm on the right track.
