We cannot save ourselves. We cannot do life on our own. God does not ask us to have it all together. Quite the contrary, he invites us to admit our weakness, confess our sin, and receive his strength and salvation. He invites us to acknowledge our insufficiencies and allow others to carry our burdens with us. - Eliza Huie and Esther Smith, The Whole Life
The Pain of Exile - Dr. Cyndi Parker | 1.11.26
We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.... - Madeleine L'Engle, The Rock that is Higher
Epiphany - Paul Burkhart | 1.4.26
Today the Magi gaze in deep wonder at what they see: heaven on earth, earth in heaven, man in God, God in man, one whom the whole universe cannot contain now enclosed in a tiny body. - St. Peter Chrysologus, 5th Century
