“So simple spiritual practices are ways that we create space for the healing, transforming work of God. Because an experience and encounter with God’s love is the only path to growth.”
This resonated with me. Most days I feel like I don’t make that space well. I am still learning how to connect in some ways and knowing that I just need to create space makes it feel like something I can do. Thank you for this advice. I a looking forward to reading your other works.
I’m so grateful that the idea of creating space is helpful for you. To me, it feels like such a gentle invitation, removing the pressure to perform and simply resting in who God is. Thanks for your response!
I love your comment that we do these practices "not to fix ourselves, but to create space for God to do what only he can do." It is amazing how He shows up when we give Him space! Illumination doesn't come every day, but when it does, it's worth all the days I have invested in the relationship!
Yes! Consistency is so important. Not every time with God “feels” significant, but we can trust that God is moving, even when we don’t see or feel it…and growth and connection happens over time. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing these insights. I’ve been on a long journey with Jesus, but it’s been only in the past few years that I have pressed into more intentional practices to create space for intimacy with God. I am learning to recognize even slight margins in life as opportunities to connect with the One who dwells within me.

Embracing the significance of time in the margins is so important! So glad this was helpful, Tabitha, and thanks for sharing your experience.
