Inner Voice of Love

“You can look at your life as a long cone that becomes narrower the deeper you go. There are many doors in that cone that gives you chances to leave the journey. But you can close these doors by going deeper and deeper into your centre. You know that God is waiting for you at the end every time you close a door, be it the door of immediate satisfaction, the door of distracting entertainment, the door of business, the door of guilt and worry, or the door of self rejection. You count yourself to go deeper into your heart and thus deeper into the heart of God.”

H. Nouwen

“Don’t loof for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life – to – God! – is vigorous and requires total attention.”
