"Our generation is preoccupied with methods. We spend much energy looking for spiritual disciplines, books, seminars, or conferences that "work" in order to feel satisfied with our Christian life.
"Trusting in methods rather than in a Person seriously limits the way we experience God. When we expect Him to speak to us only in predictable ways, we forget that God is much more complex that our perception of Him."
"Don't limit yourself to a method, expecting only to hear from your Father in predictable ways. Rather, open yourself up to other means by which God wants to commune with you. Allow the Holy Spirit to sensitize you to God's message at all times, in every location, under any circumstance."
[excerpts from Experiencing God Day-by-Day]
Oh, Lord, I don't want to ever get caught up in methods. I want to see and experience You in everything, in all things, everywhere. I don't want to ever put any limits on You through any means. Forgive me Lord for the times I have shut you out or put you in a box. My eyes are open, my heart is open. I want to breathe You in.
