So far this year I’ve been privileged to be exposed to a lot of cool thoughts. From mentors, to church members, to other fellows, to teachers, to authors, the list goes on. I’ve gotten to learn, be challenged, transformed, and exposed to better ways of thinking than my own. So for this blog I’m going to steal a really good thought from an author and hope it encourages/challenges you as much as it did me this month.
“O God of tender mercies, I know I’ve kept you at arm’s length. I’ve kept you safe in heaven. But heaven has leaned down to the earth and I’ve been touched anew. Like thirsty ground I long for you. Forgive my casualties about your Love. Forgive my shallow life. I am finished with shallowness. I used to pray that I be saved from eternal death, but now I pray to be saved from shallow living. Eternal Death? Shallow living? Is there a difference? O God, deliver me from shallow living!” -A Tree Full of Angels by Macrina Wiederkehr.
