Jeremiah 31:3 NIRV “There is a tremendous relief in knowing that {God’s} love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the…

When I was very small, I spent a lot of time at my grandparents’ apartment in Chicago. I must have been about 3 when this happened. Granny and Paw Paw’s home was not particularly child friendly.

“A nun I know once told me she kept begging God to take her character defects away from her. After years of this prayer, God finally got back to her: I’m not going to take anything away from you, you have to give it to Me.” Anne Lamott, Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers ********** The…
