“What I believe is so magnificent, so glorious, that it is beyond finite comprehension. To believe that the universe was created by a purposeful, benign Creator is one thing. To believe that this Creator took on human vesture, accepted death and mortality, was tempted, betrayed, broken, and all for love of us, defies reason. It is so wild that it terrifies some Christians who try to dogmatize their fear by lashing out at other Christians, because tidy Christianity with all answers given is easier than one which reaches out to the wild wonder of God's love, a love we don't even have to earn.” TryingBelieveHumansReasonChristianUniverseGivenI BelieveAnswersWonderChristianityOne ThingBrokenEasierCreatorAcceptedGloriousMortalityReach OutMagnificentFiniteBetrayedTemptedComprehensionGod's LoveBenignTidyLashing Out Author:Madeleine L'Engle
“Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns.” MenEyeDesireHeavenAnswersRecordsBrokenReturnOne DayConfusedGloriousCrownsFilesRequestGroaningSo Confused Author:Thomas Brooks
“When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood.” MayStatesEyeLastsTimeHeavenSunBloodLandBrokenShiningUnionsGloriousLast TimeFragmentsFeudsFraternal Author:Daniel Webster
“There are ways in, journeys to the center of life, through time; through air, matter, dream and thought. The ways are not always mapped or charted, but sometimes being lost, if there is such a thing, is the sweetest place to be. And always, in this search, a person might find that she is already there, at the center of the world. It may be a broken world, but it is glorious nonetheless.” IfsWorldWayMayPersonsSometimesMatterDreamMightLostAirJourneyBrokenGloriousSweetestCenter Of The WorldBroken World Author:Linda Hogan
“I carried Rudy softly through the broken street...with him I tried a little harder at comforting. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next-door neighbor. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.” HeartLittlesDoeBookSoulMomentsLyingNextNamesBlackWaterStepsBoysSawsDoorsStreetsCryBrokenMy HeartCallingTasteBedKissingHarderNeighborHipsRanGloriousTapeImaginaryChasingComfortingIcyRudyNext Door Neighbors Author:Markus Zusak
“Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things. Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. He can take the life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise. He can lift earth's saddest failure up to heaven's glory.” MenWantInspirationalGodEarthPainJesusStrongHeavenChristSuccessfulStrengthBuildingFailureBrokenVictorySorrowGloryPraiseChristian InspirationalKingdomsLiftsGloriousFillingCrushedRestorationBrokennessSaddestUnbrokenReedsUnsuccessfulHarpsBruisedBlessednessPain And SorrowBroken Things Author:J.R.

“The universal pervasion of ugliness, hideous landscapes, vile noises, foul language...everything. Unnatural, broken, blasted; the distortion of the dead, whose unburiable bodies sit outside the dug outs all day, all night, the most execrable sights on earth. In poetry we call them the most glorious.” BodyEarthNightLanguageBrokenUniversalSightNoiseLandscapeGloriousUglinessAll NightUnnaturalFoulHideousDistortionFoul Language Book:The Collected poems of Wilfred Owen Source: The Collected poems of Wilfred Owen
