Wednesday Lenten Post

From the Upper Room Daily Reflections:


THE BOTTOM OF THE SOUL may be in repose even while we are in many outward troubles, just as the bottom of the sea is calm, while the surface is strongly agitated.

- John Wesley
A Longing for Holiness

Comment...maybe I should check out the bottom of my soul now and then, and see what is stirring. A question sometimes asked in Methodist settings. "How is it with your soul?" Sometimes I am tempted to answer it by talking about things going on at church or in my life outwardly, but maybe the answer is below the surface?
