Hmmm

by Rev. Stacey Rector...

"Our God is not the one who sits high upon a throne in heaven ruling over the world in abstentia but instead bends down low to embrace us where we are. Our God is not one who seeks to be protected from our pain but seeks to be present within it. Our God is the One whose promise to us is that there is no fire so hot, no darkness so deep, no pit so low, no cross so painful that God will not move heaven and earth to share with us."

I totally stole this from one of my favorite blogs. It made my heart sing.

That's powerful, and inspiring. Right now, with so much of our future up in the air (and all the stress that comes along with it), I will remember this. It's so true
