The importance of contemplation in spiritual growth
Contemplation plays such a vital role in growing spiritually. Making time each day for this practice will have a profound effect on your life in the most positive ways. If you are new to Contemplation, I hope that what I share here will assist you in getting started and making Contemplation part of your daily routine. What is Contemplation? You will find many ideas shared regarding this question, but I can only share with you my thoughts and understanding.
Contemplation is about reflecting deeply on a particular thought or concept that can build our spiritual understanding or awareness, bringing us closer to knowing God. Each week I will be presenting a new image and message here for you to contemplate. Give yourself a few minutes to focus on the image and then ask yourself the questions laid out below. Once you have done this, simply close your eyes and rest in the stillness.
When we strip ourselves bare of self-doubt, self-judgment, and self-pity, we expose the beauty of the Truth that lies within.
Contemplation questions:
Is there a particular word or part of the image which grabs my attention, and why?
What is the ‘Truth that lies within’?
