"i beg you....

to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything, live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer..."

Organic God

"As I continue to read the words printed in red in my bible, there's a sense that Jesus isn't providing an explaination of how to live as much as he is issuing an invitation to real life.
He is welcoming us into his kingdom and under His authority, a place where the rules and guidelines of the world are turned on their head and we are invited to embark on a journey of relationship with God."

-Margaret Feinberg
