I Would Love To See The Church

Mother Theresa Said It Is Not How Much We Give That Is Important But How Much Love You Put Into Doing It. So It Is Not Just How Many Units Of Housing We Create Or How Good Our Health Care System Is, It Is That People Have Someone To Eat Dinner With And That People Have Someone To Hold Their Hand When They Die. That Is What We Are Called To Do And It Is The Love Of Christ. It Is Relationships.

So Even As We See The Horror Of Death, May We Be Reminded That In The End, Love Wins. Mercy Triumphs. Life Is More Powerful Than Death. And Even Those Who Have Committed Great Violence Can Have The Image Of God Come To Life Again Within Them As They Hear The Whisper Of Love. May The Whisper Of Love Grow Louder Than The Thunder Of Violence. May We Love Loudly.

Too Often We Just Do What Makes Sense To Us And Ask God To Bless It.

So If The World Hates Us, We Take Courage That It Hated Jesus First. If You're Wondering Whether You'll Be Safe, Just Look At What They Did To Jesus And Those Who Followed Him. There Are Safer Ways To Live Than By Being A Christian.

You Can't Really Learn God's Hope Like You Learn The Logic Of An Argument Or The Details Of A Story. It's More Like Learning To Belly Laugh. You Catch Hope From Someone Who Has It Down In Their Gut.
