Our future

Via

Sojourners

Our faithfulness will depend on our willingness to go where there is brokenness, loneliness, and human need. If the church has a future it is a future with the poor in whatever form.

– Henri J.M. Nouwen
Sabbatical Journey

I think, if one is willing to look, brokenness, loneliness and human need are found everywhere.  Well hidden in our affluent culture, but there nonetheless.  And these are the places God wants to enter and make whole.  These are the places he wants us to work in.

The limitations of my mind

Not sure how my prayer life is to be – God moves into one’s very cells and still is beyond my understanding and greater than all I can know or experience.  Leaves me at the same time full of wonder, mystified and baffled.  How do I approach him and yet, how can I not?

At the same time as I live in a state of incomprehension there are times when I recognize God working and I see how he extends himself through me. 

Well, lots to sort out anyway.  If my limited mind can begin to comprehend…

Processing.  Sometimes too much to write down.
