Complete!

Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

Change of seasons

God is subtle but aggressive, he is gentle but strong, he is simple but wise. He is so big... but comes down into my brokenness and restores me. He rains grace over me, and then dries me with his warmth and compassion. He pushes me, and then brings me to stop.

He is silent, then he floods me with instructions.

He is the careful father that lets go of his baby so she can learn how to walk, and then hugs her closely when she comes to him, stumbling.
