The bravest love is wildly faithful and it falls hard again every morning... It knows what we seek may be found in what we already have... it's grace and fresh gratitude that can make us strong enough to marvel in the seeming monotony of anything... And the happily married have eyes that look long enough to make the familiar new.
Ann VoskampDarkness transfigures into light, bad transfigures into good, grief transfigures into grace, empty transfigures into full. God wastes nothing โ โmakes everything work out according to his plan.โ (Ephesians 1:11).
Ann VoskampEvery moment I live, I live bowed to something. And if I don't see God, I'll bow down before something else.
Ann VoskampPractice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.
Ann VoskampI have to seek God beauty. Because isn't my internal circuitry wired to seek out something worthy of worship? . True Beauty worship, worship of Creator Beauty Himself. God is present in all moments, but I do not deify the wind in the pines, the snow falling on the hemlocks, the moon over harvested wheat. Pantheism, seeing the natural world as divine, is a very different thing than seeing divine God present in all things . Nature is not God but God revealing the weight of Himself, all His glory, through the looking glass of nature.
