Do you ever find yourself with a proclivity towards a person, idea, or experience? There is a part of you that is captured by this person or thing but you can’t figure out why. The penchants we develop don’t always come from our minds. We could spend hours unearthing how we developed a penchant but what is the purpose? God invites us to travel down the road of our penchants with curiosity. With open eyes and hearts, we can explore what is there. Perhaps it is not the focus of our penchant but it is the penchant that moves us to go down the path. I have learned that life is so much more about the process than it is about the content. Penchants that stem from our hearts can often lead us to places we could not conceive of in our minds. It is life’s invitation to go in a direction we may not have otherwise. A penchant will guide us to let go of judgment before we even get started. Anything that can move us away from judgment is a movement closer to love.
