What Feeds You Spiritually?
Katie Mendelsohn poses a good question.
What feeds you spiritually?
Besides Sunday morning.
I was considering this question recently and came up with a list, not just one or two things. Relationships with people, nature, study, imagination and creativity, music, helping others. . . I ws struck by the fact that I couldn’t just come up with just one or two things—maybe it helps explain why I get involved in doing a lot of different things, in order to meet all those aspects of how I find God.
I remember hearing of a young devout woman who wanted to be a nun and joined a silent order, only to find that she had cut herself off from one of the main ways that God spoke to her—conversations with others. She still became a nun, but at a different order.
And then there is the reverse question: what hurts you spiritually? I’m not including sin in this consideration—that’s a given. For me, one thing in this list is loud noise.
What about you? What feeds you and draws you closer to the Lord?
