How dare God invite us to follow him into this awful corner…

Our God is awful. Our God is awesome, and we who commit and consent to wrestle with this incongruity will be visited, time and time again, by his Presence.

How aware are you of the presence of God within your heart and mind?

God transforms what keeps us down.

Here’s the thing: to the degree that you were not loved by a human being, you were loved by God.

We walked cautiously, carefully, with heightened anxiety. This was our normal.

What goods did you give to the world yesterday through the decisions you made, the thoughts you dwelled on, the words you voiced, the deeds you carried out? What goods will you give the world today?

What does this have to say to our own suffering, our own anger and disaffection for God? Doesn’t it just deepen it?!

We have to question what we learned about God.
