UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DEPTH OF FOUNDATIONS NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING OF JESUS. HEARING THE WORDS OF JESUS IS ONE THING, BUT REALLY LISTENING AND BEING ABLE TO TRANSLATE THIS INTO ACTION IS ANOTHER; ‘LISTENING' IMPLIES AN ATTENTIVE WAITING, A READY OPENNESS FULL OF HOPE. WE WANT TO LISTEN TO GOD, AND THIS LISTENING IS OUR PRAYER, OUR INNER SPACE, OUR VERY EMPTINESS, WHICH GOD FILLS WITH HIS PRESENCE AS AND HOW HE WILLS.
