I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer … - Henri Nouwen

My hope is that the description of God's love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover . . . God's love in yours.

We often confuse unconditional love with unconditional approval. God loves us without conditions but does not approve of every human behavior. God doesn’t approve of betrayal, violence, hatred, suspicion, and all other expressions of evil, because they all contradict the love God wants to instill in the human heart. Evil is the absence of God’s love.

We are not the healers, we are not the reconcilers, we are not the givers of life. We are sinful, broken, vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for.
