Chapter Five: Living in Love {Present Perfect}

“I have read many accounts in different books on how to go to God and how to practice the spiritual life.
It seems these methods serve more to puzzle me than to help,
for what I sought after was simply how to become wholly God’s.”
{Brother Lawrence}

“Submitting to God in the present moment transforms us in a way no amount of knowledge can. When we submit to God in the present moment, his Life flows in and through us. This Life frees us from the automatic programming of our flesh-mind-set and the ‘pattern of this world’ and leads us into conformity with Jesus Christ… It’s impossible to remain surrendered to God moment-by-moment and remain apathetic about things God is passionate about. As his Life is poured into us, it can’t help but begin to be expressed through us.”
