“The journey with God does not deny our natural needs and desires, but it rearranges our priorities and nudges us constantly with the suggestion that he is calling us on, as surely as the ocean draws the rivers. Our attachments begin to look like riverbank constructions that tempt us to get out onto dry land and stay there, where it seems so comfortable, desirable and safe. But if we do, there will be no on-flowing for us, no on-growing, no progress towards the full freedom of the children of God…”
