To believe in God is to give your heart to God.

One life on this earth is all that we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.

Listen. Your life is happening. You are happening. Think back on your journey. The music of your life.

You do not need to understand healing to be healed or know anything about blessing to be blessed.

We are in constant danger of being not actors in the drama of our lives but reactors, to go where the world takes us, to drift with whatever current happens to be running the strongest.

We cannot make the Kingdom of God happen, but we can put out leaves as it draws near. We can be kind to each other. We can be kind to ourselves. We can drive back the darkness a little. We can make green places within ourselves and among ourselves where God can make his Kingdom happen.

If you have never known the power of God's love, then maybe it is because you have never asked to know it - I mean really asked, expecting an answer.
