Psalm 16:11
You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever.

It’s that nagging perpetual question: What is God’s will for me? Finding it is the way of contemplation. It takes being present to God and listening in the depths of our hearts. Then it takes action…taking steps in the direction that God is leading. It can be a lonely path leading us away from what loved ones want for us or what our egos want. But this path will lead us to our true selves…and to God. As Thomas Merton puts it, “Not to accept and love and do God’s will is to refuse the fullness of my existence” (New Seeds of Contemplation, p 33). Where is God leading you? Take a step in that direction today!
