<transcy> Disciplines of a Godly Woman (Femme de Dieu, exerce-toi à la piété) </transcy>
For many, this word alone inspires fear. Not because we don't aspire to be disciplined physically, mentally, and spiritually. But the challenge seems so difficult, or we are motivated by duty rather than desire. And we all know that when it comes to our Christian walk, we don't want to fall into legalism and limit ourselves to following a set of rules. There is much more to the Christian life, doesn't it?
Barbara Hughes responds with this encouragement: The real heart of spiritual discipline is a relationship with God. As this relationship deepens and your love for your Heavenly Father and his ways grows, you will find that discipline will help you stay attached to him. This is how he gives meaning to your whole life. As you realize that there is nothing more important than loving Him every moment, in your every activity and every thought, you will see your fears turn into aspirations.
