From "Searching For God Knows What"

My recommendation for a book to read shown in the right column is one I have been enjoying for the last week or so. I will share the thesis and some points in the near future, but wanted to share a quote which ‘leapt’ off the page at me last night.

From Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller, p. 46-47

“. . . if the gospel of Jesus is relational: that is, if our brokenness will be fixed, not by our understanding of theology, but by God telling us who we are, then this would require a kind of intimacy of which only heaven knows. Imagine, a Being with a mind as great as God’s, with feet like trees and a voice like a rushing wind, telling you that you are His cherished creation.
. . . God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them. Perhaps this is what the apostles stumbled upon.” Amen!!
