"We unwittingly project onto God our own attitudes and feelings toward ourselves... But we cannot assume that He feels about us the way we feel about ourselves -- unless we love ourselves compassionately, intensely, and freely. "
~ (Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging)
"In Love's service, only wounded soldiers can serve."
~(Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging)
"Only reckless confidence in a Source greater than ourselves can empower us to forgive the wounds inflicted by others."
~ (Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging)
"We should be astonished at the goodness of God, stunned that He should bother to call us by name, our mouths wide open at His love, bewildered that at this very moment we are standing on holy ground."
~ (The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out)
