An excerpt from Advent & Christmas Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen,
"Take the gospel of each day and spend ten minutes with it. Read it, and read it again. Walk into the world with the gospel in your heart. The gospel word of the day can become like a painting on the walls of your inner room, the inner room that is your heart...You have chances every second to live this Word, but is has to be in you. It can't be just and idea, it has to sink from the mind into the heart. That's prayer - to let God's Word speak deep within you and tell you, "You are my beloved." - pg. 8
