Meditations—points to ponder

The great need you and I have, the greatest need of humanity in general, 

is renovation of the heart. That spiritual place within us from which outlook, 

choices and actions come has been formed by a world-denying God. 

It must be transformed. 

Indeed the only hope for humanity lies in the fact that, 

just as our spirit has been formed, so also it can be transformed.

For all our advances in scientific knowledge, science tells us virtually nothing 

about the inner life of the human being. 

Science misses the heart, because when it goes beyond the measurable 

it ceases to be science. No matter what theories we might hold 

the bottom line is that the spiritual simply IS our life. 

If we want to live fully we must live with Him at that interior level 

and He gives this life as a gift. 

The spiritual renovation, the spirituality which comes from Jesus 

is nothing less than an invasion of natural human reality 

by the supernatural life of God.

Romans 8:5 (NRSV) — 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
