Spiritual Reading 1 John 4:18 (NIV)

Lectio Divina – Spiritual Reading 1 John 4:18 (NIV)

A non fact-finding practice. A reception to what the text has to teach you. A slow dance between Scripture, God & Silence.

The meditation begins with a brief explanation of the practice.

1. Reading slowly.
2. Meditation-reflect on what its saying to me.
3. Prayer- What is my action or response?
4. Silent love or thankfulness towards God.

Join Hospice Spiritual Director and Pastor Ryan T. Schmidt for a session of Lectio Divina.

Thank you! It’s been a while since I’ve meditated on this powerful scripture... I needed this time with God and the word. ✨

Thanks, a new way to practice & experience God’s Love. Thank you.

Thank you. Your guidance and voice are soothing balm.

Lovely gentle practice thankyou

I am not a perfect lover. But I have perfect lovers in God and Jesus who can help drive away my fears so that I may love. Great meditation.

A subtle way to explore this modality of contemplation.

Very meaningful meditation based on scripture. Nothing could be more perfect.

Thank you. No fear in lovely

Lovely thank you

Perfect instruction to apply when reading the Bible. I have been told best to read a small portion, write thoughts & meditate. Never quite got it, always wanted to read, like a book. This was so helpful to me! I now know how to read a verse, contemplate, & pray. I am going to start this process this morning. Thank you for the clear , easy to understand teaching. So helpful!🙏💕

Thank you for this meditation and a new way to study. I've been addressing this exact concept and didn't even realize there was a Bible verse for it. The Bible is my foundation for my spiritual life, thank you for the validation of scripture.
