"Detachment is the word used in spiritual traditions to describe freedom of desire. Not freedom from desire, but freedom of desire . . . An authentic spiritual understanding of detachment devalues neither desire nor the objects of desire. Instead, it 'aims at correcting one’s own anxious grasping in order to free oneself for committed relationship to God.' According to Meister Eckhart, 'detachment enkindles the heart, awakens the spirit, stimulates our longings, and shows us where God is.' With an awakened heart, we turn and face the road ahead, knowing that no one can take the trip for us, nor can anyone plan our way." -John Eldridge
About Me
- Ardor Awakening
- For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by music’s power to awaken individuals to the reality of their Creator. As I have matured in communion with my Savior over the past decade, a lifestyle of worship has become a relentlessly growing necessity of my spirit. My desire is to lead the church in a sincere and passionate offering of worship in spirit and truth.
