Some thoughts from Tilden Edwards:
“We
will be shown whatever we need to know at a given time (if anything), while
grace (love) will work steadily below the surface of our consciousness where it
does most of its healing, awakening, loving work. Our receptivity trusts and
welcomes that hidden work. God creates in us a new heart that ‘knows’ Love at
the heart of reality. …we don’t need to
understand what’s going on in order for God’s grace (love) to be effective in
us.” Embracing the Call to Spiritual Depth by Tilden Edwards.
“Living from a New Heart that realizes LOVE at the Heart of
Reality”
“For Divine Grace Writes on the tables of the Heart”
“Standing before God moment by moment with the Mind in the
Heart”
“We can open ourselves to this way of being present with the
help of a variety of practices; however, the fullness of such awareness has
always been seen as a divine gift, not as something that we can achieve on our
own. Our vulnerable openness between and
behind our thoughts can show our willingness for such inspired communion.”

Questions we can
ponder:
Do I wish to
surrender into Divine Love?
Am I willing to
surrender into Divine Love?
How do I perceive
Divine Love?
How does Divine Love differ
from Human Love in my experience?
Is there
anything/one/self we find unlovable?
Explore
Am I afraid? Exactly what scares me about Divine
Love?
Can I be patient
and allow God to do the work in me in His time?
Is trust growing
in me as I continue to practice Centering Prayer?
Breathe, breathe,
breathe …. In love, out love, in love, out love
“All shall be well
And
All shall be well
And all manner of things shall be well.”
~Julian of Norwich
