A Home as Wide as the Earth Quotes

“And we travel faster and faster, trying to gain what we're looking for, only to find that it's gone when we get there. We won't find it. Not yet, anyway. Contentment comes when we see that this is not all that will ever be. This is the way He is. Broken things are made new.”

“We live in hope that the world will actually BE the way we long for it to be, with all the good and beautiful attributes we desire. It means that none of this, none of our unmet desires are in vain. Think of how disappointing it would be if we felt that this was all there was. I know deep in myself, that good is true, is real. My own faltering attempts to be good can't even touch what is really there, the real world, the place my own life scarcely resembles. But one day. One day we will see it and we will be changed, we will be good ourselves, just as God is good.”

“But the truth is that the Christian faith centers around a very real future, beyond our present life, an eternal future where everything will be made right. Where we will be made right.”
