Meditation

March 2009

In the first line of her meditation, Crossing The Threshold, Gunilla Norris writes, “Many times today I will cross over a threshold. I hope I will catch a few of those times.”

In life, we all cross thresholds. Some are physical thresholds that take us from room to room and from the outside to the inside of a home. Even as I write this I can sense the awareness of the analogy rising in you and me. Yes we can cross the threshold from our outer life to our inner life and even from “room” to “room” within us. And yet, will we intentionally take time to reflect on such transitions; to explore the way God is abiding within us; what God may be whispering to us? I can hear the voices rising up at just the thought of taking time to explore these movements. “I don’t have any time.” “My life is too busy.” “He needs me.” “She needs me.” “They need me.”
Perhaps this season of Lent is the time for you to intentionally take the time to cross the threshold from your outer life to the inner life more often. Cross over to the place where you and God call home and experience God’s peace, love and care. Cross over, come in and rest awhile.



Humbly yours,
