Spiritual Quote of the Day (Henri Nouwen, on How God is ‘Longing to Bring Me Home’)

“The question is not ‘How am I to find God?’ but ‘How am I to let myself be found by him?’ The question is not ‘How am I to know God?’ but ‘How am I to let myself be known by God?’ And, finally, the question is not ‘How am I to love God?’ but “How am I to let myself be loved by God?’ God is looking into the distance for me, trying to find me, and longing to bring me home.”— Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming (1996)
