Nektarios: From Within

Armodoxy for Today: Nektarios, the saint that directs us to the inside

St. Nektarios, venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Tradition, directs us to “Seek God in your heart, not outside of it.”

The world is a big place. From mountain tops to ocean floors, the vastness can be overwhelming. In our attempts to engage with life and our passions, we may fall victim to that vastness, that is, because life is so big, it’s difficult to focus and life can go by without you fully exploring all that it has to offer.

God is the author of all. Seeking God within, that is, in the heart, is the starting point of all exploration. You are assured of being equipped with the necessary tools to appreciate the deepest and highest points of life. Jesus words are, “The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
