cliches and everything

“The ultimate goal of self-sacrifice is to lay down our lives for our Friend (see John 15:13-14 ). When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, our greatest desire is to lay down our lives for Jesus. Yet the thought of self-sacrifice never even crosses our minds, because sacrifice is the Holy Spirit’s ultimate expression of love.

Love for God is not something sentimental or emotional— for a saint to love as God loves is the most practical thing imaginable.”

This is today”s Utmost for His Highest reading. Hurhur. How true – When things get tough, where does my help come from? What’s the first thought that comes to mind? Do I still believe in a God that is good and in a Father who loves me?

Yes, yes and a thousandtimes yes.

Another time, maybe! I will get there someday!

little joys

I have been away from this space for quite a bit. Since then, I have:

  • Eaten an ice cream
  • Jumped up in glee
  • Received a toy from an arcade game
  • Made a spontaneous road trip
  • Drank Himalayan tea
  • Watched an incredibly disturbing movie

What about you?
