“God, You know how hard this is for me. Help me to let go of what I’ve lost and treasure what I am to gain.”

“began in a garden, but it ends in a city — a beautiful restored city the Scriptures describe as the New Jerusalem, coming on earth as it is in heaven. Christianity is not just about going up when we die; it’s about bringing God’s kingdom down, all the way to the dirt in our gardens.”

“God’s incomprehensibility to human minds is part of God’s nature. We can’t understand God; that’s part of the mystery. That’s what poetry is for and art and music and creative endeavors of all kinds—all serve as attempts to capture that which cannot be put into words: love, grace, beauty, power, truth. Visions like Isaiah’s remind us that the God we worship lies beyond our ability to describe.”

“God oft-times doesn’t give a lot of answers but just keeps telling us who we are. God just keeps inviting us into that place where love is alive and where God is in love.”
