The Spiritual Disciplines of Seduction
June 29, 2016
Prayer doesn't have to be about stripping away. It can also be about beckoning

There is something incredibly beautiful about your soul. Something that draws others in, that draws God to you. What is it? What is it that God desires in you? I think it is not enough for us to try to be good. I think there needs to be some seduction in our spiritual discipline as well. It is important to show God that we are interested in being desired. Just as we might put on that good perfume or the shirt that goes so well with our eyes for the humans we are attracted to, we should also put on display the parts of ourselves that will draw the God of our desire to us. Prayer doesn’t have to be about stripping away burdens, it can also be sweet, like honey. What does Psyche, what does your soul, have to cause Love to fall in love? Find this and you won’t have to chase God. God will chase you.
