"'And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." Mark 12: 30-31 NLT

REST

Transformation begins by first resting in God’s presence.

HEAL

When we’ve entered into God’s rest then true healing can begin.

UNVEIL

As he heals he unveils the masks that cover us.

REVEAL

As he unveils our masks he begins to reveal our true identity in Christ.

INSPIRE

As he reveals our true identity, and we find freedom, it will inspire others to do the same.

MEANINGFUL

As our transparent lives inspire others to also walk in freedom it will cultivate relationships that are deeper and more authentic.

CAPTIVATE

When the world sees this type of culture of meaningful, loving, and authentic relationships, it will captivate their hearts to also enter the Rest of Jesus.

The prayer of the heart is indeed the way to the purity of heart that gives us eyes to see the reality of our existence. This purity of heart allows us to see more clearly, not only our own needy, distorted, and anxious self but also the caring face of our compassionate God. When that vision remains clear and sharp, it will be possible to move into the midst of a tumultuous world with a heart at rest. It is the restful heart that will attract those who are groping to find their way through life. When we have found our rest in God we can do nothing other than minister. God’s rest will be visible wherever we go and whoever we meet. And before we speak any words, the Spirit of God, praying in us, will make his presence known and gather people into a new body, the body of Christ himself.”
Henri Nouwen, The Way of the Heart, pg 89-90
