The question is not “How am I to find God?” but “How am I to let myself be found by him?” The question is not “How am I to know God?” but “How am I to let myself be known by God?” And, finally, the question is not “How am I to love God?” but “How am I to let myself be loved by God?” God is looking into the distance for me, trying to find me, and longing to bring me home.” - Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son
Rejoicing with God - 10.5.25 | Rev. Meg Jenista Kuykendall
Nearly all areas of life in which we could become spiritually competent (hearing God and receiving divine guidance among them) confront us with the same type of challenge.

We are required to "bet our life" that the visible world, while real, is not reality itself. - Dallas Willard, Hearing God
The Cost of Discipleship - 9.28.25 | Paul Burkhart
