What About Spirituality?

Genuine internal spirituality.

How do we obtain that authentic, genuine, personal, inward relationship with the God who created the entire universe?

I love how Thomas Kelly writes about devotion. He uses these amazing words to really show the nature of obtaining this true, internal spirituality.

Inner.

Secret.

Subterranean.

Unceasing Habits.

Rooted.

All these words stand out to me in a very strong way. They are deep and meaningful. Very powerful when you apply them to your spiritual life.

It is IN us, HIDDEN, UNDER where no one can get to it, CONSTANTLY pulling at us, to the very DEPTHS of our souls.

I feel like after looking spirituality in this way, I am not even close. But it takes time and discipline. So the external disciplines we talk about are what help lead us to this internal, genuine, relationship with our God.
