It's interesting to note that our lives revolve around relationships. As a child we begin with a relationship with our parents and siblings. Then we enlarge our world of relationships with friends and relations.
Then school introduces us to both casual and particular persons with whom we build a relationship. So, on and on our lives evolve.
Yet, it's so important to be centred, and this is where our relationship with God steps in. Our lives depend on He who has created us, the Creator of the Universe.
St Augustine said, 'Our hearts are restless 'till they rest in God.'
As soon as we are centred in God, our lives begin to expand and we discover the purpose of life / of being focused and open to grace.
When you think of it, we are so individual, so unique. We learn from each other and yet we need to find ourselves, our true selves. No copy-cats allowed when it comes to facing the Truth.
This is why the spiritual life is so important. We learn to centre our lives on Truth and so learn to be just who we, a child of God.
Christ has established a loving relationship with us. Now it's up to us to develop our loving relationship with Him.
