We were away from our home church on Easter Sunday. So it happens that I was just reading a copy of my pastor's sermon last night. His words led me to the profound revelation - every day I move closer to God's kingdom!

Meditation: The Prayer of the Heart
Empathic or not, meditation can be a really useful tool to enhance your life in Christ. Unfortunately, meditation in popular culture doesn't often seem to be thought of in context with Christianity.
I suppose the form of meditation we hear about most is transcendental meditation. The goal of transcendental meditation is to empty the mind of thoughts in order to find peace and enlightenment within ourselves.
Prayerful meditation, Prayer of the Heart, or meditating on scripture, are meditations on the word of God. The purpose is to turn our thoughts to God in order to attain peace, wisdom, and understanding through and of Him.
