Bradly Jersak - Prayer on Love
Begin this prayerful time where I say, God is love. He’s shown us what that love looks like in someone who revealed God‘s love as self-giving . He’s utterly generous to you. Everything he has of himself is yours. He’s radically forgiving —there’s absolutely nothing his blood can’t wash.

a burrowing beyond what is,
soaring into life's uncharted mysteries.
"Quotes About Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse

Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”

In the cloudiness of our questioning, we sit.
In our madness and our clarity, we sit.
In the midst of too much to do, we sit.

“I’m Listening” by Nat Sanders
“I’M LISTENING”

the betrayals,
the wounds
created by those whose best-they-could
wasn't enough to prevent suffering.
