The Sacredness of the Moment

Where God Is Found "God continues to speak today," says renowned French Jesuit writer Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Yet de Caussade explains that He doesn't always speak in ways we expect. His will isn't always revealed to us in a broad vision for our lives or overt direction. His voice and His will can be discovered in our everyday world as we give our lives to Him in complete trust and allow Him to work out His purposes for us. God and His unfolding will are active in your life as you eat, sleep, work, rest, visit, write, converse, pray, worship, and travel. He is present to you in both peaceful times and difficult circumstances. As a spiritual guide and mentor, de Caussade encourages you to follow God in each moment, considering it sacred: > "Let us continually repeat to all souls that the invitation of this sweet and loving Savior does not exact anything very difficult from them, nor very extraordinary. He does not ask for talent and ingenuity; all He desires is that they have a good will and desire to be united to Him so that He could guide, direct, and befriend them in proportion as they are so united." Start looking for God in every moment of your day and find the joy of living in His presence and fulfilling His divine will for your life.
