Notes
There is so much we cannot do in our spiritual formation; we cannot fix or heal or transform ourselves. But we can do this; we can be with Jesus. We can pause for little moments and turn our heads towards him and look for Holy Spirit direction. It takes PRACTICE. John Mark Comer - Practicing the Way
