Your turn: A note to the inbox, speaking of this post, Under All these Masks:
“Only God! Thank you for sharing Under All these Masks…. Trying to express why I weep at this is hard because it’s not of this world.
He speaks to us and shows us how we are all loved by Him.
We must not attempt to delineate who are His and who are not – subconsciously thinking who are “beneath” us and that we are the ones to “save the unlovely.“
That He uses such unlikely earthly means to speak to us and our children awes me over and over.
Thank you,
Shari “

“I am more likely to have Jesus revealed to me and through me in weakness than in strength, sinfulness than in purity, or doubt than in perfect faithfulness….
I come to this astonishing conclusion: Jesus is found in brokenness…”
“The surprise of this brokenness is not just that the Almighty allowed himself to be broken, and that he invites me to touch him there in that brokenness. It’s also that my own brokenness – that hidden, ugly, twisted stuff that I had expected would disqualify me forever from his friendship, and that, if it were known, would torpedo all my other relationships too – is precisely the place where he desires to touch me, and it is the place where I am most able to truly connect with other people.”
