I don’t usually do this. (Okay, I never do this.) But Buechner’s words will not leave me alone unless I share them. Here are more quotes.
************
“If there is anything in this world I believe,
it is that God is indeed doing all kinds of things in the lives of all of us.”
God himself does not give answers. He gives himself.
“Maybe the truth of it is that it’s too good not to be true.”
“The birth of Jesus made possible not just a new way of understanding life
but a new way of living it.”
Resurrection means that the worst thing is never the last thing.
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief is the best any of us can do really,
but thank God it is enough.”
Turn around and believe that the good news that we are loved
is better than we ever dared hope,
and that to believe in that good news,
to live out of it and toward it,
to be in love with that good news,
is of all glad things in this world the gladdest thing of all.
Amen, and come Lord Jesus.
