Justice is doing for others what we would want done for us.

Half the Sky: Turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide

The victims of injustice in our world do not need our spasms of passion; they need our long obedience in the same direction - our legs and lungs of endurance; And we need sturdy stores of joy.

One of the biggest regrets of life, I think, is a sense of having gone on the trip but missed the adventure.

We can help the work of justice by preparing for a marathon, not a sprint. A long obedience in the same direction

Victims of oppression & injustice don't need our spasm of passion....they need our legs & lungs of endurance.

Jesus beckons me to follow him to that place of weakness where I risk the vulnerability of a child so that I might know how strong my Father is and how much he loves me. But truth be told, I would rather be an adult. I'd rather be in a place where I can still pull things together if God doesn't show up, where I risk no ultimate humiliation, where I don't have to take the shallow breaths of desperation. And as a result, my experience of my heavenly Father is simply impoverished.
