Moving Into Wholeness

Today’s Reflection

Creativity and prayer allow us to see the truth about ourselves. Whether painting or praying, I learn about myself and areas of my life that need God’s healing. Painting offers guidance and helps to heal the hurts of the past, in much the same way prayer does. Through an unending process of self discovery, creativity, and prayer move us into wholeness. They afford an encounter with self-knowledge and lead to the joyful truth of our existence.
