There are no perfect formulas for your spiritual development. “Each one actually comes out with a new ‘way,’ a new ‘sanctity’ which is all his own, because each one of us has a peculiar vocation to reproduce the likeness of Christ in a mode that is not quite the same as anybody else’s, since no two of us are quite alike” (Thomas Merton). God works through your uniqueness to do a unique work. He is your map in these uncharted waters.
“O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it” Psalms 139:1-6 (NASB.)
