Jesus Hung Out With Ragamuffins.

Our Identity Rests In God's Relentless Tenderness For Us Revealed In Jesus Christ.

Jesus Says. "acknowledge And Accept Who I Want To Be For You: A Savior Of Boundless Compassion, Infinite Patience, Unbearable Forgiveness, And Love That Keeps No Score Of Wrongs. Quit Projecting Onto Me Your Own Feelings About Yourself. At This Moment Your Life Is A Bruised Reed And I Will Not Crush It, A Smoldering Wick And I Will Not Quench It. You Are In A Safe Place." Brennan Manning. Abba's Child: The Cry Of The Heart For Intimate Belonging

When Being Is Divorced From Doing, Pious Thoughts Become An Adequate Substitute For Washing Dirty Feet.

May All Your Expectations Be Frustrated, May All Your Plans Be Thwarted, May All Your Desires Be Withered Into Nothingness, That You May Experience The Powerlessness And Poverty Of A Child And Sing And Dance In The Love Of God Who Is The Father, Son And Spirit.

Everybody Has A Vocation To Some Form Of Life-work. However, Behind That Call (and Deeper Than Any Call), Everybody Has A Vocation To Be A Person To Be Fully And Deeply Human In Christ Jesus.
