Just a few quotes that I read this week that seem fitting for some things God is doing in our lives and some friends lives:
Bonhoeffer once wrote: "When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die," but I would add that he also calls a man to live! We must identify with his risen life as much as we do his death. He is alive - now - and calls out for you to come to Him and find rest for your weariness...
The sweetness of true surrender: "I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient." - Hudson Taylor
