PART SEVEN: Love Songs of the Godward Soul
What does it mean to say, “I love the Lord”? In this episode of St.Aub, we reflect on a dimension of faith that can be easy to overlook in a culture focused on independence and self-direction. It's the idea of loving God not only as Savior, but as Lord. While many people are comfortable with the idea of God's love, mercy, and forgiveness, fewer stop to consider what it means to joyfully surrender our will to His.
Drawing from Scripture, personal story, hymns of faith, and the wisdom of the saints, St.Aub explores how love for God grows through trust, obedience, and relationship. True freedom is not found in endlessly pursuing our own desires, but in discovering that God's ways are wiser, deeper, and more life-giving than our own.
This episode invites you to consider a simple but profound question: Who is directing your life? In an age that encourages us to follow our own path, the Godward soul learns that real transformation begins when we surrender to the loving Lordship of Christ and seek His will above our own.
If this reflection resonated with you, consider subscribing and returning as we continue exploring the Godward path together. You’re always welcome here. And if you think of someone who might need this, feel free to share it.
