“Christ has no body but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks Compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.” — Teresa of Avila

“The most subtle threat in the church today is that we would live in land of our Father, enjoying unmerited forgiveness, but never open the closet to clothe ourselves with his power. Forgiveness without authority. You’re home, forgiven, clean. You’re renewed. You’re free. It really is that good. But there’s even more. There’s power, authority, and miracles. Grace not only to you but through you.”
