Jesus said, 'A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree good fruit.'~ Matthew 7: 17-18
We must choose to listen to God's voice and every choice will open us a little more to discover the new life hidden in the moment, waiting eagerly to be born.
How often do we move forward without thinking about what God's will would be for our lives? What is that "new life hidden in the moment" that Nouwen talks about? I'm choosing today to slow down and listen more fully.
