It’s All About the Heart

This afternoon my phone blew up with texts that Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist, co-founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated by a gunman at an outdoor rally at a Utah Valley University event.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“the more you read God’s Word, the more you’ll know it, and the more you know it, the more you’ll love it—and the more it will define and empower your prayers.”
Jodie Berndt, Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children: Trusting God with the Ones You Love

“The farther I run away from the place where God dwells, the less I am able to hear the voice that calls me the Beloved, and the less I hear that voice, the more entangled I become in the manipulations and power games of the world.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming

“I can only be healed from above, from where God reaches down. What is impossible for me is possible for God. “With God, everything is possible.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming

“I am beginning to see that much of praying is grieving. This grief is so deep not just because the human sin is so great, but also—and more so—because the divine love is so boundless. To become like the Father whose only authority is compassion, I have to shed countless tears and so prepare my heart to receive anyone, whatever their journey has been, and forgive them from that heart.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming
