In the eyes of God...human divisions have no more actual, street-level reality than dotted lines on a map....At the end of the day, it’s only love that matters.
When love truly is set free in this world, there’s no end to the wonders it can accomplish.
He came from nothing. He conquered everything. And he lives to serve us — so we may learn to serve others.
The waters of baptism...are a potent symbol of the all-inclusive, radically welcoming love of God. Through that love, human-constructed barriers come tumbling down.
In a place of total darkness...the only way to “see” is by touch. In this dark world of ours, the touch that matters most is the touch of the Risen Lord.
God isn’t done with you yet. God isn’t done with your story. In fact, God – who is in fact an Artist – is amazed with the raw material that you’ve put on the table, every messy element fished out of the Deep.
Perhaps the work is less finding or evading God – but simply perceiving the Divine in our midst. Were your ears tingling? Maybe you should start paying closer attention.
It turns out we need that love and affirmation like we need water. And we need water an embarrassing lot.
