Hope Knows That If Great

The Spirituality Of Wonder Knows The World Is Charged With Grace, That While Sin And War, Disease And Death Are Terribly Real, God's Loving Presence And Power In Our Midst Are Even More Real.

The Word We Study Has To Be The Word We Pray.

A Man Doesn't Grow Old Because He Has Lived A Certain Number Of Years. A Man Grows Old When He Deserts His Ideal. The Years May Wrinkle His Skin, But Deserting His Ideal Wrinkles His Soul.

In Explaining The Growth Of His Faith, Psychiatrist Gerald May Writes, "i Know That God Is Loving And That God’s Loving Is Trustworthy. I Know This Directly, Through The Experience Of My Life. There Have Been Plenty Of Times Of Doubt, Especially When I Used To Believe That Trusting God's Goodness Meant I Would Not Be Hurt. But Having Been Hurt Quite A Bit, I Know God's Goodness Goes Deeper Than All Pleasure And Pain It Embraces Them Both." Ruthless Trust, Pg 22

Jesus Comes For Sinners, For Those Outcast...and Those Caught Up In Squalid Choices And Failed Dreams.
