Thank you for your interest ! The spiritual quest is not just one of many things we attempt to accomplish in our lives. It is our life. As Christians, the goal of that spiritual quest is Jesus Christ. In the spiritual life, a commitment is made to follow Jesus and that commitment encompasses our entire being. It is not a decision that we make once and leave the rest to chance. When we decide that we want to know Jesus, it is a decision we renew every day of our lives. However, once the decision is made, we may not know how to begin developing that relationship, since we do not see Jesus in the flesh. The essence of spirituality is the sense of knowing that God loves us. We must know this not only in our heads, but also in our hearts and in our everyday lives. God loves us so much that He sent His only son, Jesus, to die for us in atonement for our sins. His love was not determined by our actions, but on how much He loved us. He loves us first and it is our quest to discover how through His love we can be transformed into vessels of love that He pours out to our world. We cannot accomplish this transformation on our own. It is obvious that we need God’s help in this transformation, but it is difficult to determine what it is that God wants from us. Each of us needs to fully grasp and understand just how much God loves us. We need to see how He is intimately concerned about every single detail of our lives. Reading that God loves us in His Word and understanding that He died for our sins, can still be merely intellectual pursuits. However, receiving His Spirit and experiencing His Life in and through us, is something we can never deny as being ultimate, personal love. However, the way in which to feel that ultimate personal love is not readily apparent to us.
I aspire, in this website to help strengthen each person's confidence and joy in Jesus Christ at every point in their life, and encourage personal and spiritual growth through prayer and community.
Our journey to God and renewed spirituality never stop. We are always on the way. Let me help you as a guide down the road to relationship with God. He waits patiently for you!
