CONCLUSION: Discovering Your Spiritual Rhythm

“Abba Moses asked Abba Silvanus,
”Can a man lay a new foundation every day?”
The old man said,
”If he works hard, he can lay a new foundation at every moment.””

Conclusion + BONUS Resources!

Life in God is a grand journey of discovery. Every path provides new glimpses of the glory and mercy of the Father’s tender heart. We turn a corner only to discover something about the Godhead that ravishes our heart yet again. The journey and destination have this in common: both partake of the heart of God and the life of God. Your ultimate destination is the living light sitting upon the throne of Heaven:

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

Revelation 21:22-24 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

I am privileged to be on this journey with you. You are part of God’s grand narrative, telling His story one human heart at a time. And each day is a new beginning in displaying the Father’s goodness to a world broken and in need of Him.

May your tomorrow be greater than your today. May your, “Yes,” tomorrow be more emphatic than your, “Yes,” today. May you increase in love and wisdom, to the glory of the Father, and for His great name’s sake. May your heart look like the heart of the Father. And may your life mirror the life of Christ.

Continue to turn your heart to the Father. This is not the end. This is merely the beginning of your great life in God.

Blessings,

Joshua Hoffert
