Day 10: Identity Begins with God

What does it mean to know who we are in light of who God is?Fr. Gregory and Rebecca begin our entry into the Spiritual Maxims by exploring identity, baptism, adoration, and the spiritual battle at the heart of the Christian life. Today, we read Part 3: Intro to Spiritual Maxims, Necessary Practices for Acquiring the Spiritual Life, and How We Must Adore God in Spirit and in Truth.

Brother Lawrence says that the goal of the spiritual life is to become “the most perfect adorers of God.” What does adoration look like in your daily life right now?How does your identity change when you see yourself first as a beloved child of God?How do you usually respond to temptation, dryness, suffering, or failure?
