The most important relationship we can have is a relationship with God. How we practice an intentional spirituality is the means by which we are in an intentional, ongoing relationship with God. In order to be attuned to the movement of the spirit and to discern the will of God, we must foster and maintain that intentional practice. Spiritual practices help us find our authentic selves. By striving to be our authentic selves, we exhibit that we can be everything God has created us to be; we show the glory of God, his grace, compassion, the hope, restoration and forgiveness of God. |
