Sojourning Hope

“It’s hard to trust God when reality drains our hope, but God must be our hope for a new reality.”
― Mesu Andrews, Isaiah's Daughter

“But a woman raising her children is not only shaping the next generation, she is also shaping little humans who are going to live forever. The souls she gave birth to are immortal. Immortal. And somehow, our culture looks at a woman who treats that as if it might be an important task and says, “It’s a shame she’s wasting herself. She could be doing something important—like filing paperwork for insurance claims.”
― Rebekah Merkle, Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity

“God’s commands are given for two good purposes: to protect us from the destructiveness of sin and to direct us into a life of joy and fruitfulness.”
― Robert S. McGee, The Search for Significance: Seeing Your True Worth Through God's Eyes

“A sense of hopelessness can either drive us to depend on God or drive us into passivity. We will never know the victory that God has for us when we are passive. God’s way is for us to actively cooperate with Him.”
