My heart and my flesh
Cry out for the Living God.
Psalm 84:2
The Spirit brings tenderness to our…heart by caressing us with His tender touch and arousing us to love and good deeds. The Spirit woos us with the words of a lover, inviting us to a union with God that is intimate, passionate, and fruit bearing. We are not alone, nor will we be left without a voice. Dan B. Allender, Ph.D.

~Righteousness and peace kiss each other. Psalms 85:10
“We want to be freed from our problems so that we can get on with our pleasures. But God has a different plan. He wants our problems to serve as the context for knowing him and living out the story he invites us to write for his glory. This means the present is not meant primarily to be resolved, or even learned from, but to be written in a way that allows us to reveal God to others and to let him reveal himself to us.” from “To Be Told” page 123
“We are moved to act when we are in pain. When we know joy, we may dance and sing, but over time joy brings the heart to rest. Tragedy, on the other hand, moves the heart to act. All passion is founded on pain, grown through risk, and marked by the decsions we make in the face of tragedy.” from “To Be Told” page 74
“Everyone has a story. Put another way, everyone’s life is a story. But most people don’t know how to read their life in a way that reveals their story. They miss the deeper meaning in their life, and they have little sense of how God has written their story to reveal Himself and His own story.” page 1 “To Be Told”
