Nouwen Meditation: Become the Beloved

Now & Then Podcast
Twenty-eight years ago, Brian Stiller interviewed Henri Nouwen for a television current affairs program. In this week's episode of Now & Then, Brian, now Global Ambassador for the World Evangelical Alliance, talks about the lasting impact that interview had on him, and how Henri’s insights still apply to the Church today.

DAILY MEDITATION | JANUARY 29, 2022
Become the Beloved
As long as “being the Beloved” is little more than a beautiful thought or a lofty idea that hangs above my life to keep me from becoming depressed, nothing really changes. What is required is to become the Beloved in the commonplaces of my daily existence, and bit by bit to close the gap that exists between what I know myself to be and the countless realities of everyday life. Becoming the Beloved is pulling the truth revealed to me from above down into the ordinariness of what I am thinking of, talking about, and doing from hour to hour.
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

1 JOHN 4:16 (NIV)
