Quote

I recently read this quote on Kristen's blog and loved it. It came from Charlie Hall but don't know if it is his or if he picked it up from someone else.


“May God Bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.”

The first part really speaks to me. Relationships and relational church are pop topics these days. Maybe it is a fad or maybe it is a true longing in the heart of many people.

We live in a culture and time where most relationships are only about an inch deep and only last as long as the purpose they serve.

I guess we really do reap what we sow.
