Values Quotes – Henri Nouwen on Closeness

I am currently on vacation, getting some rest and enjoying time with Lori – my wife, best friend and business partner. While I’m away, I’ve prepared a few special value quotes. I hope you enjoy them.

 

Today’s quote is from Henri Nouwen, a Dutch-born Catholic priest who authored 40 books on spirituality, and had a heart for people with developmental disabilities.

Nouwen speaks to the differentiating value of Closeness, which means familiarity; or a feeling of being intimate and belonging together.

Consider how Nouwen’s quote and the value of closeness can help you restore a feeling of spiritual intimacy with God.


Today’s value was selected from the “Harmony-Order” category, based on the e-book Developing Your Differentiating Values.
