“knowing God involves, first, listening to God’s Word and receiving it as the Holy Spirit interprets it, in application to oneself; second, noting God’s nature and character, as his Word and works reveal it; third, accepting his invitations, and doing what he commands; fourth, recognising, and rejoicing in, the love that he has shown in thus approaching you and drawing you into this divine fellowship.”
― J.I. Packer, Knowing God

“What I’m finding to be most helpful more than any list, question, or sage advice is simply to get quiet in a room with Jesus on the regular, not for the sake of an answer but for the sake of love.”
― Emily P. Freeman, The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions
