Quotes:
“When God makes love a drama, His theater is all the universe, his audience is a single broken heart”
- Calvin Miller
“When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves–that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.”
— N.T. (Tom) Wright
“Your tears might not just be for you pain any more… they might become the messy tears of healing and hope for someone else. Maybe you will look at your scars one day as the finger prints of God left on the small of your back while he gently guided you to a blessing that has been repurposed out of your pain. Those are the stories that are holy, and they will never just been for the antagonist of the tale, but rather for all of us who are watching their becoming.”
- Bobby Triplett
