God loves you.
He’s on your side.
He’s coming after you.
He’s relentless.

To love others with authenticity requires an awareness of the love we have received from God. We love others as beloved ones because we are aware of our own belovedness.

GROWING UP | Our most basic instincts are for survival and self-protection - good and important instincts to stay alive - but not sufficient for our ultimate growth. Our more mature development includes the capacity for connection, self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social virtue.

Hear me quickly, Lord for my mind wonders to other things I am more familiar with and more concerned about than I am with you. O Timeless God, for whom I do not have time, catch me with a sudden stab of beauty or pain or regret that will catch me up short for a moment. Ted Loder

It’s astonishing how angry some people will get if you try to take away their religion of revenge. They’re terribly upset by the idea that God might give divine favor to those they deem unworthy of it—to those who do not belong to their kind of people.

The current American moment summed up in one photograph.
This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.

What a thread 🧵
I don't WANT to preach this morning -- JD Vance is not a serious person, he lacks the intellectual chops to do this kind of work, so rewarding his thirst with response is undignified -- but the Spirit demands at least a brief bit of sermonizing

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin. It’s the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. –Frederick Buechner

January 6th Was a Success
