“God is not bound by time, nor is our story. We desperately want our situation to be solved. We want resolution. But, God unfolds the plot in His own time. It is in our months or years of waiting that our story comes to maturity. It is over a lifetime of stories that he turns our desire toward Him.” DesireWaitingHealing Book:To Be Told: God Invites You to Coauthor Your Future Source: To Be Told: God Invites You to Coauthor Your Future
“Desire lies at the heart of who God made us to be, who we are at our core. Desire is both our greatest frailty and the mark of our highest beauty. Our desire completes us as we become One with our Lover, and it separates us from Him and brings death as it wars against His will.” DesireHealingShalom Book:To Be Told: God Invites You to Coauthor Your Future Source: To Be Told: God Invites You to Coauthor Your Future
“The desire for beauty, the hunger for union, the passion to be part of something greater than self, all arise out of our bent to worship.” SelfDesirePassionGreaterWorshipUnionsHungerAriseBent Book:Bold love Source: Bold love
“God wants us to relieve suffering, pursue justice, facilitate reconciliation, and free the heart to love, but He desires for us to do so in a way that reveals His Character. It is not enough just to do well for others or to do things well. We must do well in our unique way in order to reveal the vast creativity of a God who loves to bring change through the most unlikely channels.” WayWantWellsHeartEnoughCharacterDesireSufferingOrderJusticeCreativityUniquePursueUnlikelyWant UReconciliationFacilitate Author:Dan B.
