Today, we're diving into a conversation about finding a safe place with God, a concept that can transform how we hear Him. We explore the idea that feeling safe is a core human need, and when we don’t feel safe, we tend to hide or put on facades instead of bringing our true selves to the table. With insights drawn from Scripture, we highlight that God serves as our strong tower, providing refuge and safety in His presence. We also discuss how to use the eyes of our heart to discover new truths about ourselves through contemplation and reflection, fostering a more intimate connection with God. Join us as we guide you through exercises to visualize your safe place and invite you to see yourself through the lens of divine love and safety.
