"Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that
does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a
different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality.
It stands in the very teeth of suffering. The love of God did not protect His
own Son. The cross was the proof of His love- that He gave that Son, that he
let Him go to Calvary’s cross, though “legions of angels” might have rescued
Him. He will not necessarily protect us- not from anything it takes to make us
like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have
to go into the process." [Elisabeth Elliot]

Quote of the Day 2/12/16
To open ourselves up to someone we love, showing who we are and the world that is within us; it’s hard and scary. When we are seen, fully and truly, and we are not only accepted but celebrated. Then we have found our home. [T.B. LaBerge]
