So much wisdom in this devotional! While it is specifically geared for those who lead worship, the Lord used this book to convict, encourage me, and challenge me as a worshiper of my God and King.

Quotes by Kate Motaung (?)

“I used to think this life was about healing. Eventually, I learned its about dying--dying to self, dying to sin, dying to the world. . . so that in the next life, I can be made whole. So I die a little every day, until true living becomes the art of dying well.”
― Kate Motaung, A Place to Land: A Story of Longing and Belonging

“Then finally, I understood. This whole life is a rental. This whole body of mine is a borrowed house. And sometimes it's a good thing to be discontent with where we are, because this is not it. It's a good thing to feel like we're not at home and to long for another, for permanence, for stability, because we're not home yet. Having been washed by the astounding grace of the cross, praise God, my citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20).”
