Rest in the knowledge that God is both abundantly gracious and ridiculously generous.

It was as though all the most fundamentalist people of all three religions had descended upon the Old City, leaving no room for even simple things like politeness and common courtesy. There was no love in the city of God.

The battle belongs to the Lord, and we already know that He wins the war.

Thank God for a little holy disobedience.

Grace is given of god, but knowledge is bought in the market

Love always precedes repentance. Divine love is a catalyst for our turning, our healing. Where fear & threat may gain our compliance, love captures our heart. It changes the heavy burden of the "have-to's" of imposed obedience to the "get-to's", a joyful response to the genuine love of God. It is in the security of this love we find Sabbath (rest).
