Nouwen Meditation: Dying Leads to Love

"Now & Then" Podcast
In this week's episode of "Now & Then", we get to listen to Henri Nouwen's third sermon from the Crystal Cathedral in 1992. Inspiring as always, Henri teaches us about the three disciplines which can help us open a space within to hear God speaking to us.

Dying Leads to Love
Am I afraid to die? I am every time I let myself be seduced by the noisy voices of my world telling me that my “little life” is all I have and advising me to cling to it with all my might. But when I let these voices move to the background of my life and listen to that small soft voice calling me the Beloved, I know that there is nothing to fear and that dying is the greatest act of love, the act that leads me into the eternal embrace of my God whose love is everlasting.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

ISAIAH 41:10 (NIV)
