The late friend of humanity, and fellow saint Henri Nouwen taught us that to move towards wholeness we need to be meeting God in three areas: internally (in our private hearts), through His written Word (meeting The Word through His revealed words), and with His People (fellowship with the saints-both living and not- and their journeys).

These three directions, or meeting places with The Divine, are all vital to spiritual health.

Meeting God inside, through encountering Him through the scriptures, and with others who are also in living relational journey or pilgrimage with and into more of Him. Nothing’s changed about that.
But Henri had a way of putting the spiritual life in simple categories and stories which still hold true. We meet God in the heart, in His Word, and in His People!

Each of us tends to be more healthy in one of these three areas than others. Good to know which we each need more of to continue to grow in a healthy way! Pretty simple but clarion reminder today from my devotional readings today.
