Perhaps the heart of 'letting god in' is realizing God is already there.
I am touched by these words from Emanuel Swedenborg; "It can never be said that God is outside of anybody" (Heaven and Hell #54). This quote expresses beautifully this deepest, most sacred idea that God is deeply and intimately present in every fiber of our being.
Sometimes, this can feel far from true. We can feel alone, despairing, lost. And so we explore in this issue the practices we might do to open to that Divine presence. To offer an invitation of sorts.
We explore ancient rituals of invitation, insights from wise sojourners, and the healing balm of God's word.
How do you let God into your life?
