Belonging to God: another thought relating to Q&A 1

Becoming Who You Already Are
(from "Inward/Outward")

A quote from Henri J. M. Nouwen (from The Inner Voice of Love)

Every time you close another door--be it the door of immediate satisfaction, the door of distracting entertainment, the door of busyness, the door of guilt and worry, or the door of self-rejection--you commit yourself to go deeper into your heart and thus deeper into the heart of God.

This is a movement toward full incarnation. It leads you to become what you already are--a child of God; it lets you embody more and more the truth of your being; it makes you claim the God within you.
