"It’s the meek, the humble, who will receive Him still — the ones laid low, the humble ones close to the earth, close to the humus, the ones bent down. God didn’t come with any buzz — He simply comes for the broken and unlovely."
That's me, no question about it. So very thankful that He sent His son and that He keeps giving, even today.
"Preparing for the holidays is primarily a preparing of the heart. Because what comes down is love and the way to receive love isn’t to wrap anything up — but to unwrap your heart."
Oh, my - that's true, isn't it? Unwrapping - unwrapping my heart and opening it up to all that He gives and all that He expects of me.
