"I could more easily contain Niagara Falls in a teacup than I can comprehend the wild, uncontrollable love of God." -The Ragamuffin Gospel
Working on myself. Working on letting go and letting in. Need to release the tension, stop the rage, and calm my nerves. Quit bringing up the worst case scenario, knock off the negative responses and stop expecting the worst.
Want to be full of love and light. Be a conduit of His grace. If I remotely fathomed the love of the Lord, I would have but no choice but to love others with His forgiving and unconditional love. Oh how I want that ability. May I give such a love....without understanding.
"We believe we can pull ourselves up by our boot straps, that we can do it ourselves."
be thou my vision.
"There begins a long winter of discontent that eventually flowers into gloom, pessimism, and a subtle despair--subtle because it goes unrecognized, unnoticed, and therefore unchallenged. It takes the form of boredom, drudgery. We are overcome by the ordinariness of life, by daily duties done over and over again. We secretely admit that the call of Jesus is too demanding, that surrender to the Spirit is beyond our reach. Life takes on a joyless, empty quality.
"why am i afraid to dance, i who love music and rhythm and grace and song and laughter? Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and the living colors of the earth and sky and sea? why am i afraid to love, i who love love? -The great god brown
It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick...I came to call not the upright but the sinners
