Byron reflects on the profound impact of Brother Lawrence’s classic work, not merely as a spiritual habit, but as the "most holy and necessary practice" of the spiritual life.

• 
  

  Constant Companionship: Practicing God's presence isn't about scheduling specific times for devotion (like "five minutes a day"); it is about living a fully integrated, twenty-four-hour life with God.

• 
  

  Unceasing Conversation: The practice involves finding constant pleasure in God's company by maintaining a humble, loving, and limitless conversation with Him in every season and moment.

• Source of Power: While Scripture and meditation are valuable, the author suggests that the true "joy and power" of the spiritual life are found in this sweet, ongoing dialogue that is never allowed to drop.

Welcome back to PopUp Cafe. As we navigate the busy Advent season, it’s easy to feel like we are the ones doing all the preparation. However, the true mystery of this season isn't just about our anticipation; it's about the Lord's patience.

In this episode, we reflect on the profound truth that Jesus is waiting for us to open the door to our hearts. We explore the difference between the waiting the world did 2,000 years ago and the reciprocal waiting that happens today. Pour a cup of coffee and join us for a conversation on how to let Him in.
