“Bet there’s some great vintage clothes in the charity shops in a place like this”

I would encourage you to do one thing that will help you build a relationship with God based on these beautiful truths: pray.

He made a life's work of that escape, and in his final moments, he escaped again.
As the sun rises, the rest of us return to the castle.

“I've learned that forcing people into things is a very painful choice, even when it appears necessary. Even when it's for their own good. Because once you force them, they begin to fear you. And that fear can easily become hate. Hate is very hard to undo."

Contemplation is seeing Christ with the eyes of faith.
It is having our love and hope stirred by the sight of him in personal response to his personal love for us.

Thank you that there is no darkness so dark that your light can't shine into it with healing power.

Because you are his sons and daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father' (Galatians 4:6).

I want
to be in this family, messed up as it is.
I want
to be my father's daughter, to solve my sisters' problems,
to be the one who receives my mother's black pearls, to be Rosemary's favorite.
To be a Sinclair, and to have the security and good standing that all our
hard work and dirty money and unearned privilege and intelligence has bought us.
I see that now.

“We need you" means my sisters love me, they rely on me, they admire me.

In such a community, when the church is functioning at its best, it would be difficult to ever feel deep loneliness. It is designed that way.

Experiencing the salvation of Jesus means that we too can have a new identity. Our new lives are defined by the fact that we are now connected to Jesus, and that we are known and loved by him.

However, if we make it our aim to know Jesus, and to give up our selfish life to follow him and serve others, then we may just find something deeper than temporal happiness - we may
discover true and lasting joy.
