Galatians 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

God is forming me, even now.

Eugene H. Peterson,

“There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship in what earlier generations of Christians called holiness.”

1 John 4:12 (NRSVUE)

No one has ever seen God;

if we love one another,

God lives in us,

and his love is perfected in us.

There are no ordinary people.

C. S. Lewis

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”

Lamentations 3:22–23 (NRSV)

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,

his mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

Lord, your mercies are enough for today.

Henri J. M. Nouwen

“Each day holds a surprise.

But only if we expect it

can we see, hear, or feel it

when it comes to us.”
