Daily Readings by Wild at Heart

“Turn to God with all your heart,” wrote Thomas à Kempis, “and Christ will come to you.” First thing every morning, I pray something like this before I do anything else:

I run to you this morning, Father. I run to you this morning, Jesus. I hide myself in you. I run into your refuge, Lord.

And it happens; it takes place in the hidden realm.

As you learn to be an ordinary mystic, ask the Holy Spirit for his help:

Holy Spirit, help me turn to Jesus.
Help me run to the Lord for refuge.
Help me to hear his voice.
I ask you to open my spiritual vision and hearing; tune my heart to your presence.
Take me into the shelter of the Most High.

As you grow in this practice, it will become the doorway into the intimacy, communion, and refuge your soul longs for. I want you to turn to Christ with your heart, right now. Turn away from all that holds your attention and turn toward Jesus with your heart.

You can turn to Jesus by your side or you can turn to Jesus who dwells within you. He’s always right there. Give your heart’s attention to him. Give your heart’s affection to him.
