Fifteen. Practicing with God

The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it.

Henri J. M. Nouwen

I need one consistent person in my life to whom I can relate. A person who gives me a steady bearing. A person who will challenge me and accept me at the same time. A person who never changes and yet is dynamic enough to excite my soul. I need someone I can talk my head off to and still be comfortable being silent with. I need to confess my stupidity and weakness, and also have someone to encourage me to new levels of creativity. I need an amazing source of love so I can give it away. God is the only person I can do all this with, and because of this relationship I have a reference for all the others in my life.
