“El corazón de una madre es algo inmenso y glorioso. El corazón de mi madre era amplio, fue dilatado por el sufrimiento y años de aferrarse a Jesús mientras era malentendida, ignorada y juzgada por aquellos a quienes más amaba. Incluyéndome a mí. Le costó mucho amar, le costó mucho ser madre. Siempre es así. Pero te diría que bien valió la pena; que no hay otra forma.”

“The passage is not about trying to save your skin by ducking martyrdom or something like that. The word Christ uses for “life” is the word psyche—the word for our soul, our inner self, our heart. He says that the things we do to save our psyche, our self, those plans to save and protect our inner life—those are the things that will actually destroy us.”

“what it’s like to struggle with sin (Rom. 7), he tells a story we are all too familiar with: I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. (The Message)”
