A Gentle Invitation

Find a quiet moment to tend to your heart with God.

Pause. Take a deep breath.

Allow yourself to enter a Sabbath moment.

Wayne Muller calls this a “sanctuary in time” — a space where the noise of life softens and we encounter the beauty of God.

What would it look like today to return to the beauty of His presence?

Gently open your awareness. Pause. There is no need to rush.

Notice what is beautiful.

What do you see? What do you hear? What do you sense? What do you taste? What do you smell?

As you turn your attention toward God, what do you notice?

Listen for it. See it. Breathe it in.

Let yourself linger.

“One thing I ask of the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His sanctuary.” — Psalm 27:4

Stay here as long as you need.
