I’m concentrating. I pray.
God has a plan for me in His love and wisdom.
I am aware that my life can have a real meaning in God and true fulfillment, something that no one else and anything in the world does to me can’t offer it? Do I trust him? Or I bet on my ideas and wishes? On your plans? For pleasure, entertainment, temptations, offers of the world as honor, wealth, seriousness, high position, high income?
Am I considering and choosing the right one? Do I know what matters?
“And the world overlooks its greed; but who does the will of God,
it remains forever “(1 John 2:17).” What benefit will man have,
if he gains the whole world, but his life (it is meant by the true, God
full life) will it lose?” (Mt 16:26).

Am I just looking for my benefit? Your comfort? Easy and pleasant life? I notice he’s in it all unsatisfactory emptiness, peel, strange aftertaste it leaves? Do I realize that God created me for something higher, more valuable, more permanent? Show me, O God, where I should seek and find the true, lasting the values ​​you have prepared. Could you take me to them and teach them? I appreciate me seeing them in your light and enjoying them; he fell in love.

Where can I specifically discover these higher, lasting values?
Where can I find them? In whom? There are sacred patterns that will appeal to me that I will want to imitate? Where are they? Pleased to show them to me if I don’t know them yet? Do I have to read something suitable, such as a resume? What made these people holy? – “Tell me who you’re dating and I will tell you who you are. “- Who did they go with? – With Jesus Christ. Lord! He is the way, the truth, and the life. They always followed him again a long way, not all at once. Breaks to rest are needed! Large walks went with him alone.
Often they didn’t want to at first. Often he had to pull them straight.
And yet they have become great!

His darlings were small, insignificant to the world. They had to the role he assigned to them, which they slowly recognized, correct, and learn modestly according to the circumstances. There were milestones they could not overlook in their lives, no matter how many they were
or less pleasant. Everything had its meaning, an eternal purpose, which they did not yet know at the time. They had to bow. They had to be shown what God meant by that, to dare to go boldly, not to look back anxiously where they came from (cf. Luke 9.62).

I don’t have to look back on what I had to do either forsake, for “rapists reach for him (the kingdom of heaven)” (Matthew 11:12).
They have to go through pleasant but also unpleasant sections of the road, sunny and cloudy landscapes, hills and valleys, on steep slopes and around deep abysses, across piles of gravel. He has to wade through rivers. There are stones on the way; obstacles must be overcome. But the grace of God gives strength to overcome all difficulties, as it is written: “He covered him with his care, protecting him as the apple of the eye” (Dt 32.10)

God wanted to show us examples in the Bible:
– Abraham’s courage with God to the willingness to sacrifice his son (Heb. 11: 8-19).
– Jacob’s struggle for God’s blessing for a problematic encounter
with Esau (Gen. 32:23 et seq.).
– An example of Moses’ obedience and steadfast trust
and patience with Pharaoh (Ex. 5: 1 et seq.).
– Chan’s prayer and miraculous hearing (1 S 1: 9 et seq.).
– Gideon’s obedience and unconditional trust in God
(Sd 7,1 et seq.).
– The election and the true dignity of little David (1 S 16,1
et seq.).
– Elijah’s journey and miraculous satiety in the desert to the encounter with God on Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19: 3 et seq.).
– Job’s perseverance in tribulation and his ultimate salvation
(cf. Job 32,5 et seq.).
Isaiah’s preparation for his task as a prophet (Isaiah 6: 1 et seq.).
– Modest attitude of Ruth and diligent petty work (Rt 2: 2 et seq.).
The mother’s stability in true faith and willingness to lose her life
and the lives of their children (2 Mak 7: 1 et seq.).
– Susana’s humble attitude, which silently endures false statements but leaves everything to God with faith (Da 13: 1 et seq.).
– Joseph’s immediate obedience and departure to protect mother and child (Mt 2:13 et seq.).
– the patient and longing expectations of old Simeon of salvation
Israel (Luke 2:25).
My Lord and my God, he gave up from me everything that prevents me from going to You. My Lord and my God, give me everything that will drive me to you. My Lord and my God, take me for yourself and appropriate me.
Nicholas of Flue

 Jesus teaches us that he who believes in him and lives does not have to be afraid.

Let’s keep thinking about yesterday. A well-known European institute did a psychological survey. To the question: “What is the most powerful driving force in the life of today’s man?” even the Son of man confesses … “(Luke 12: 8).

He who believes in Christ and acts in the spirit of Christ is to proclaim from the “roofs” what he has heard “in the ear,” so that the words of Jesus may be known to the whole world, and nothing will prevent everyone from realizing them. Ensure that he who does the Teacher Jesus’s will and proclaims his words will face many difficulties and dangers. He finds himself like a sheep among wolves and must also reckon that his work can also bring him martyrdom, if not bloody, then at least bloodless. Even in this case, the witness does not have to be afraid because the killer can kill the body, but he cannot kill the soul. When we stand faithfully to Christ, He will take care of us.

It is up to each of us what attitude we realize in our lives, both holiday and every day. We have noticed in Jesus’ words how he emphasizes that we profess him enough, intelligibly in our lives. Jesus demands that we vigorously and effectively defend his teachings. There are plenty of opportunities in our environment, not to be afraid to profess your faith. Many in the area are spreading a lie, a semi-truth that purposefully deceived those who are not interested in the truth. A Christian has someone to lean on. Christ also asks us to live in the reality of love and righteousness. Otherwise, it would be better for us if we were not baptized. St. Bernadine says: “I saw the blackmailers, prostitutes, cruel soldiers turn … They became brave people. But I did not see any lukewarm converts. “They are considered acceptable. I did not steal; I did not hurt.

Jesus is with us, even in the most challenging moments. Jesus will not disappoint. An example from life speaks nicely: In a hospital, a boy was to be operated on. His father brought him to the hospital and tried to give him courage. “Dad,” the boy said, “if you stay with me, I won’t be afraid at all.” The father said, “Okay, I’ll stay with you.” The doctor allowed it, so the father sat down next to his child lying on the operating table. When the boy was supposed to be asleep, he looked at his father again and said, “Dad, are you here? ” Then, anesthesia began to work. “You can leave now,” the doctor said as the little one fell asleep, and the operation was to begin. “No,” said his father. “I promised my son I’d stay with him, so I’d like to stay.” “Okay, stay.” The operation was successful. When the boy picked up, his father still held his hand. The boy smiled and whispered, “Dad, are you here?” And fell asleep again. He knew his father was with him.

Thank God that there are few among us who do not want to disappoint Christ with sin. “Do not worry!”

Is there anyone among us who has not encountered fear in his life? How much reassurance, so that we are not afraid, do not be scared, is given to us during our lives. And yet the assurance of Jesus – until the end of time, is still temporal: “Do not be afraid” (Luke 12: 4).

We do not have to be afraid of what we are doing in the intentions of Christ. He who believes in Christ and acts in the spirit of Christ should proclaim from the “roofs” what he has heard “in the ear”, so that the words of Jesus may be known to the whole world, and nothing will prevent everyone from realizing them. Ensure that he who does the Teacher Jesus’s will and proclaims his words will encounter many difficulties and dangers. He finds himself like a sheep among wolves and must also reckon that his work can also bring him martyrdom, if not bloody, then at least bloodless. Even in this case, the witness does not have to be afraid because the killer can kill the body, but he cannot kill the soul. Whom we need to fear is the One “who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matt. 10:28). The Creator is concerned about all his creation. The great care of man can be seen throughout the text.

Man has fear in his blood from birth to death as a result of inherited sin. What a motive for fear. Why is there so much fear in our lives when we believe in God? How many words express our state: fear, timidity, fear, horror, alarm, panic, mess, insecurity, restlessness, danger, horror, trembling, trembling, and how many other names of the state of soul and body are when we incorrectly approach to my God.

“Do not be afraid!”, We are to be aware of all these words of Christ by all those who have believed in Christ. We must not be intimidated so quickly because fear makes our lives uncomfortable and difficult. People think about us; what they say about us, they write how they treat us. We must not be ashamed of our Christianity. When we stand faithfully with Christ, He will take care of us Himself. Be faithful to Christ even in difficulties, unpleasant things, confess Christ even before those who do not have the best relationship with God, faith, the Church, Christianity, the Pope, quickly brings peace, joy, contentment. It is beautiful, useful, and right for us when we put God first. Our faithfulness to God’s word is a guarantee of our eternity; we must not hide our Christianity from someone that someone has power, status, education, etc., and does not believe in God; it is right for someone to say and possibly according to the lives by being a Christian in his soul, but to the outside, in the behavior, he behaves in a way that he does not reveal it? The Pope is not afraid! He has accepted the words of Jesus and lives in their intentions. Jesus commanded us all: “Do not be afraid” (Luke 12: 4).

Let us pray: “Lord, we no longer want to be afraid. Sir, we’re not scared anymore. Sir, you are our security. “

Jesus said, “Woe to you! For you, are building memorials to the prophets killed by your fathers! You are witnessing and approving your fathers’ deeds because they killed them, and you are building monuments to them. Therefore, also the wisdom of God said, I will send unto them prophets and apostles, and they shall slay some of them, and persecute others. This generation will be responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed from the creation of the world, from Abel’s blood to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say unto you, This generation shall answer. Woe unto you, scribes, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge! And when ye went as far as the herd, the scribes and the Pharisees began to come against him, and inquired of him abundantly, and laid wait for him, that they might catch him in his mouth.

The same thing can serve us, but it can also be to our detriment. The decisive factor is whether we need it and whether we accept it. The drug can be harmful, but it can also help. A reminder, which is made with feeling and tact, can also be a cure. The accusation can also bring harm if one does not accept it as it should. Notice the admonition of the Pharisees by Jesus: “Well, Woe to you, Pharisees, for you give tithes of mint, rue, and every vegetable, but you circumvent justice and the Love of God! This was to be done and not neglected their “(Luke 11:42). These were harsh words of the Lord Jesus against godly and educated theologians, scholars of the Law. That they considered themselves perfect, and that they made their conduct known: they sat in the synagogues in the first place, and received greetings in the streets, and were confessed, being teachers. And men do not even know what they are after “(Luke 11:44).

Devotion is not just giving tithes when they have something when it’s from excess when it costs them nothing. Faith is a matter of Love, which must come from within man, from his conviction, and it must serve to glorify God, not to promote the giver. Where there is Love, there is no talk of egoism, selfishness, pride. Love does not offend but encourages. Pride does evil. Love knows no bounds. She is selfless, as Paul says in the Letter to the Corinthians: “Love is patient, Love is benevolent; he does not envy, he does not turn off, he does not appear, he is not shameful, he is not selfish, he is not angry, he does not think of evil, he does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth “(1 Cor 13: 4-6). And it can have nothing to do with the behavior of the Pharisees.

The gospel text is a lesson for us to make Love for ourselves; although it is sometimes difficult and requires effort and sacrifice, it is also enrichment. On the other hand, the pride and arrogance of the Pharisees are killing. Christ, our teacher, clearly teaches us that we must not cultivate in ourselves pretense; that is, we must not have other behaviors outside and others in ourselves. When we feel that this also applies to us, it is a sign, to begin with, a sincere change in our lives’ attitudes. We realize that even if we spoke outwardly and acted as well, nicely, and deservedly, it would not coincide with Love that comes from conviction; it would all be just like a chirping metal and a ringing bell.

It’s beautiful when Love is manifested not only in words but in deeds. After all, the Lord Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Mt 7:21).

The religious life of many and believers is limited to “religious acts”: attending services, celebrating Easter, performing their “religious duties” and not forgetting charity. ) e life is busy, in many respects positive,  after all, there is a risk that it will have nothing to do with spiritual life in the real sense. Moreover, the common sense of the believer elevated to the system, it acts as a terrible shell that it cannot pass through no folly, let alone a miracle, that is, nothing that would affect the present about man; he would be able to understand the hidden irony of Pascal’s bet, but so far, he has held only a reassuring reassurance:
On the other hand, there are people who have prosperous inner life but not religious. Thinkers, artists, and also theosophists they live a deep and intense mental energy and can even lead to cosmic mysticism or spiritualism without God.

We can state that the first of these forms, “religious” life, always brings a relationship of dependence on the Absolute, while the second, “inner” experience, is autonomous and deepen in immanence and one’s own mental wealth.

Spiritual life integrates these two dimensions and manifests itself in it their complementarity. Because it is intrinsically internal, it is also by living a relationship with God, by the participation of the human spirit in God living life, listening to the Spirit of God. In the broader perspective of world religions, it represents spiritual life a Christian synthesis among the anthropocentric unwariness of Eastern religions without God and transcendent and theocentric personalism of biblical beliefs, Judaism, and Islam. Christian synthesis not only combines amazing penetration of Hinduism into the depths of human unwariness with the sacred the fears of Jewish and Islamic monotheism before the absolute overriding the Creator, but he comes up with something completely new:

The Divine Self spoke to the human you. He created him who gave him he listens, gives him existence to his image, and further completes it to fullness and keeps him in living communion with his Word, which has become flesh. The novelty of the Gospels represents a reversal: the God of Christians is one of the strangest, in nothing resembling human imagination about God, and this deafness of his determines the spiritual life: The Creator of the world becomes the “Lamb sacrificed before the foundation of the world.” And on the cross, God takes the side of man, against his divinity. In the interest of man, God is no longer omnipotent; he dies to live. He transcends his interreligious silence to the other “you” and introduces them to his secret, to the sacred circle of the Trinidadian community. One can, therefore, say with St. Augustine, “You were more inner than my own heart and higher than the highest peak me about the spirit.  God wanted to become human. The Incarnation shapes the divine and social essence of every spiritual life. When a person lives a spiritual life, he is never alone again, he lives it with God and God”By Confession, VI, VII.
Vladimir Soloviev – Epochs of spiritual life he lives in man and with a man. This divine participation in the human is decisive: the spiritual life does not come from below, from the fabrication of man, from his imagination, from his desires, or from his cry soul. One does not create it for one’s comfort: such romantic mythology would never stand the test of time and death. Spiritual life comes from above; God makes it as a gift of His presence. One accepts and responds to the revelation-event by the act of his faith, he formulates and professes the creed and turns it to You, Father, with His Son and Spirit. The liturgical dialogue, the cause of unification, is beginning.

Spiritual life is happening inside the spirit. Seen from the outside, however, it necessarily gives rise to misunderstandings and frequent confusion with purely psychological phenomena. Therefore, the psychologist lays the classic but incorrect question of whether there is a correspondence between the subjectivity of religious experience and the objectivity of its subject.

The question itself posed and simplifies solution: God – the object of knowledge – is only immanent as part of the soul, esse in anima. One talks with one’s own souls, mythologize, and romanticizes. The mistake lies in introducing a speculative distance between experience and its subject because the religious experience is also immediate the manifestation of its issue. It is not a coincidence between experience and spiritual reality, for alone and experience is all about truth. The experience of the saints and mystics is the coming of the spirit. The idea of ​​God is not anthropology – fiction, man does not create God and, according to his image, does not invent him, but the concept of ​man is theomorphic, for God created him to your vision. Everything comes from God, including the experience of God, for God is closer to man than a man to himself; as soon as it manifests an interest.

Who among us is wrong? We will also admit to several. The consequence of inherited sin makes us a Pharisee of the gospel. Don’t we forget our insides? What is he talking about?
Jesus tells them, “… you clean the cup and the bowl from the outside, but your inside is full of robbery and malice” (Luke 11:39).

We need to realize that for those who are trying to live a more practical spiritual life and can find time for external piety, the environment is more critical. They will notice even the smallest small imperfection and mistake in such a person. The Pharisees also found fault with the Lord Jesus. What? Will you say that the Lord Jesus was not wrong? Judge.

The Lord Jesus was invited to a certain Pharisee for lunch. He went and took a seat at the table. And the Pharisee marveled when he noticed that the Lord Jesus had not washed his hands before eating. We know that the Pharisees considered the observance of ceremonial precepts to be the basis of their piety, including the washing of hands. The actions of the Lord Jesus in this case were intentional. Not that, as a man, he was against hygiene, but by his behavior as God, he wanted to show that he saw a man inside. He looks at the purity of man’s interior. It is a state without sin. We know that the Pharisees considered themselves elite and perfect people, invented and observed various laws and regulations, but within them, they were quite different. That is why elsewhere they receive remorse for Christ: whitewashed graves, a generation of spindles, the stench of death. It was pride that often led them to absurdity. By his teachings, the Lord Jesus brings the opposite of what the Pharisees relied on. The teachings of the Lord Jesus are based on love.

We realize that love makes a person truly pure. Therefore, we do not divide people according to whether they do clean or unclean work, but we look at the inside of a person, with what motives he devotes himself to his work, duties. This means that it is not enough to just clean the surface so that everything on the outside is clean and in order, and not on the inside. Even though we do not see another inside, we as believers know that God is here. It often happens that what a person carefully hides in himself is transformed, once it manifests itself on the outside. Every passion and every virtue over time, at least in unguarded moments, can be felt from our manifestations, or from the face of man. If we want to be really good Christians, we have to take care of our insides and only then of our exterior. Then, even if they hurt us and it is clean inside us, we will certainly not miss the reward. God will be our judge. Therefore, let us continue without fear. In life, we may meet people who behave better, know social rules more than a simple Christian, and yet have less respect for other people. Let us try to cleanse our insides from all evil so that we are not slaves to our sins. Amen.

In the Gospel, we hear the harsh words of Jesus Christ: “This generation is evil. He asks for a sign, but he doesn’t get a warning…. “(Luke 11:29). He speaks to those who have hard-hearted hearts and refuse to believe that his testimony is far more powerful and convincing than anyone before him. These words of the Lord until now, it is first necessary to know that in the time of Jesus, unbelief did not mean denial of God’s existence. In today’s situation, distrust means atheism, a rejection of God and his presence.

Moreover, Jesus says that in the Last Judgment, our generation will be confronted with the generations that lived long before us. In ancient times, these are not shadows and bones but lived close to the goal, God. One day, he will look us in the eye with the question of how we handled their message. Let’s try to imagine how many generations sold faith in Christ before it came to us at the beginning of the third millennium. Although our ancestors had a difficult life, they knew the most valuable legacy and wealth, which must be sold to children and preserved in all circumstances. Today we must ask ourselves the question: Aren’t we the very generation in the nation’s history that has failed to sell faith in Christ to its generation? What’s more, isn’t it that this generation has lost its faith? Can this generation be reversed and renewed ?!

The worst is dull indifference, emptiness, inability, and unwillingness to ask questions and try to capture God’s voice in the heart. Such a severe reflection opens the word of God in us today, so that we may realize with deadly seriousness what is expected of those who understand, hear, and believe. Let us ask God to help us find in our hearts an answer that is worthy of God.

In the word above, we hear the Beatitudes: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. If we want to see God, we must have a pure heart. This pure heart is also called an undivided heart. In the past, catechists, I gave the example of passionate people who want to achieve something, and therefore their whole life revolves around how to fulfill a shared goal. But what happens to this goal if their hearts divide? He longs for a girl, but he longs for more. He wants to overcome an obstacle, but it is also comfortable to stay here and do nothing. He wants to show that he is someone, but why bother? Any such division of the heart weakens our direction to the goal until we can completely lose it and get to the stage – it would be fair, I don’t mind if someone kicks me in, but I don’t do much for it myself.

What causes us to split the heart? The most common are worldly worries that suffocate the seed. Those immediate problems of everyday life, the surgery solution, know how to turn us into any enthusiasm, enthusiasm. We still hope that one day it will be different, and then we will finally be able to return to the essence we desire, in our case, a personal relationship with Christ. But operations are just increasing, our strength is just dwindling, and over time we will ultimately adapt to the trend; we are not even fighting. Therefore, that haunting everyday life and routine is the biggest obstacle to follow the Lord. To not fall into this trap, it is necessary to return to the places of original love continually. Please try to remember the goal, fight for that time of intimate encounter with Christ, where he can speak to our hearts. A community can be helpful here. We do not always manage to go before the Lord and have the grace of silence. We do not ever read spiritual literature that excites us, but we can still excite a person who is just rightly on fire today.

Another source of division is service to the two Lords. I can’t have two opposite life goals. You can’t overeat and lose weight simultaneously. You can’t keep your eyes on beautiful women while keeping them clean. Whoever wants a goal must also want resources. The devil is insidious in this. He can speak us in half – but you want to go to the Lord, you want to serve him. And you can’t afford that on this journey to satisfy any need for a moment? After all, you want to live modestly, and you are satisfied with your salary, but still, sometimes you improve, allow yourself more, which is that it is dishonest, But you want to be faithful in marriage, but sometimes you get a little lost on the Internet, you know There is nothing wrong with that. The problem with these small compromises is that they can completely control us. In time, it may happen that one no longer thinks of anything other than being able to indulge in one’s escape again. But then he no longer lives for reality, but only for those moments of escape.

This leads us to the division of the heart, which can be called – the non-acceptance of your cross. Dissatisfaction with his destiny, with his character. Is actually dissatisfaction with God. How can I say that I love God when I constantly accuse him of failing to do something? Of course, we don’t do it consciously. Namely, when I do not accept my destiny, my body, my parents, I subconsciously blame God. After all, he could have created me differently, elsewhere, and he could have arranged to.

Our reluctance to lose ourselves can also divide our hearts. Even in the spiritual life, a great temptation of self-realization awaits us. When I am not looking for the kingdom of God, but for myself, my self-realization, my fulfillment. Although I do many religious and beautiful things, I do them in the same style as when someone builds a career, solves their complexes, fills themselves. Everything is upside down here. For I seek not Christ, neither submit I unto Christ, but seek man, and Christ is only a means of finding a man.

When we look at these sources of the division of the heart, we find that they originate in human immaturity. Therefore, let us use the time of the holidays and work on our human maturity. When we are in situations other than normal, and therefore we have a better chance of seeing ourselves without a mask, as we are. Instead of offending and disgusting ourselves, let us surrender to the Lord and ask for help in transforming ourselves.

We are at the beginning of the holidays when we need a source of strength so that we do not cool down in the spiritual life, or so that we can start again. Such a period without a regular rhythm of life can upset us, easily contributes to the division of the heart and the loss of direction. That is why we often remember our goal – to have Christ as the only meaning of life. And let’s be an encouragement to each other in this.

Questions:

What divides my heart?
What precedes me from engaging in the things that keep me from the Lord?
How do I intervene in time, before my enthusiasm has completely cooled down?
How do I want to keep my gaze fixed on Christ even during the summer months?
Which area of ​​my life do I need to receive as Christ receives his cross?

Love, Demanding, Judge, Creator, Mighty, King. Convict, Support, Protector, Tyrant, Spy, Redeemer, Way of Goodness, Liberator, Partner. How faith in God and his Gospel manifested itself in your life and about other people and in attitude to death. It testifies to your life and actions that you genuinely believe in God.
Opinion and faith are two different things.
The opinion is a matter of our sanity. It’s an opinion that we’ve come to based on reasoning.

Faith is a matter of the heart. It is a belief that we have come to from experience.

Opinion influences what we say or what we formally subscribe to. But faith is our deep belief that decides what we actually do and what we live by. We live what’s natural to us.

Faith is, above all, personal priming of man to God. Simultaneously, it is a free acceptance of every truth revealed by God. Not that we believe that God exists, but that we act according to his word, that we fulfill his will.

An example of faith gives us Abraham. Our job is to find an effective way to turn our view of God into Jesus into an authentic faith that determines our course of life and action. Have you come up with an effective way to help? As a rule, we believe in what we are convinced by experience. The problem is that the knowledge of God first requires faith. Without faith, no understanding of God takes place.

When Jesus visited the synagogue in Nazareth, he said. The prophets are worshiped everywhere, but not in his homeland among his relatives. And there was no miracle he could do there. Mk 6: 2-6. Faith is born of the experience of God’s power. But the knowledge of God’s power requires us to believe first. It looks like a vicious circle. Can any be broken?
The signs that Jesus performed were to break this vicious circle. They were to start the faith. We can also experience the experience indirectly through the faith of someone else. Faith comes typically from hearing the proclaimed gospel. When we hear or see the signs and evidence that confirm this truth and from the Holy Spirit’s direct action in the soul. Romans 10, 8-15.

The problem arises if this chain of transfer of experience breaks somewhere. If there is a community of true believers in your area, use their community. If you can’t find anything like that, then you have one last thing left. Faith can also come from the fruit of consciousness when something flashes in our minds, and we cry. Of course, it is. A widely used path to awareness is meditation. In Christianity, meditation means as an inner prayer or a prayer of the heart. Meditation is a powerful tool capable of transforming our thinking, but especially our hearts. So, we as Christians should use meditation.
