Your inner world matters

What happens inside you ends up coming out: in your decisions, your words, your relationships, your way of working, and your way of loving. Tending the inner life is not locking yourself inside. It is ordering the root in order to live better outwardly, with more freedom, peace, and truth. You can also bring your emotions to your turning to God. He does not ask of you an artificially serene version of yourself, but a sincere heart that is learning to let itself be ordered.
