Worship is the act of the abandoned heart adoring its God

Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.

God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.

Contentment can only happen as we increase desire, let it run itself out towar its fulfilment, and carry us along with it.

Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?

somehow we have overlooked the fact this treasured called the heart can also be broken, has been broken, and now lies in pieces down under the surface. When it comes to habits we cannot quit or patterns we cannot stop, anger that flies out of nowhere, fears we cannot overcome, or weaknesses we hate to admit--much of what troubles us comes out of the broken places in our hearts crying out for relief. Jesus speaks as if we are all brokenhearted. We would do well to trust His perspective on this.

The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.
