The Jesus who is the one whom we search for even when we do not know that we are searching and hide from even when we do not know that we are hiding.

If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child.

Wether you call on him or don't call on him, God will be present with you.

Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention.

Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There's no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about anymore than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks. A good night's sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace.
