“blessing those who mourn, Jesus is inviting us to interact with the world as it is, to forsake illusion for truth, to stain God’s shirt with tears and restore the nerve endings of our soul.”
― Joshua Luke Smith, This Is the Main Event: Discovering the Life You Long for in the Life You Have

“all right where we are, even though that might scare us half to death. We’ll move through the terrain of lamentation, consecration, and adoration, words that I hope will become familiar companions to you, essential landmarks on the journey toward the life we long for. We’ll travel deeper into who we are and where we are, and we’ll begin to see that, as one priest (Brennan Manning) said, it’s better to “live naked in truth than clothed in fantasy.”14 We’ll choose to bring the meager offering of our lives, like loaves and fishes, before the God who loves us, and trust that something beautiful can come of it all.”
― Joshua Luke Smith, This Is the Main Event: Discovering the Life You Long for in the Life You Have

“Eugene Peterson said, “Pain isn’t the worst thing. Being hated is, and so is despair, and so is death. But the worst thing of all is failing to deal with pain. And we do that by telling God the pain—and that’s what lament does.”
― Joshua Luke Smith, This Is the Main Event: Discovering the Life You Long for in the Life You Have
