“The glory of God is man fully alive” St Irenaeus

Grace finds beauty in ugly things.

The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think? And yet it dominates the things I seek It seems as if all my bridges have been burned… …You say that’s exactly how this grace thing works It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart, But the welcome I receive at the restart.

EPHESIANS 3:18-19 18 may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

“Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” - Brennan Manning

“living in awareness of our belovedness is the axis around which the Christian life revolves. Being the beloved is our identity, the core of our existence. It is not merely a lofty thought, an inspiring idea, or one name among many. It is the name by which God knows us and the way He relates to us.” - Brennan Manning

“I had no idea that God’s love was extravagant, irresponsible and irresistible. I had no idea the God of the universe loved me with no conditions, no addenda to the contract, no fine print. I had no idea God was passionate about me ! His passion for me, His love for me, makes me want to love like Him. Passion is much harder than legalism. The behaviour of the father appears to be irresponsible, but his passion is irresistible, staggering, compelling.” - Mike Yaconelli
