Oh Tilly
How did I know you but – Not?
How did I look in your smiling eyes
And not see the pain behind?
How did we talk so long and so deep
But still not deep enough?

Greatest calling? Well – ‘A’ calling.
I don’t know yet about the ‘greatest calling’ part of this – or how that’s meant to look – but it certainly has been my experience that God will use my most searing hurts as a connector to others in theirs… so if that’s my greatest calling it is fine with me. I LOVE that God does this… He won’t waste a single hurt if we’ll let Him do His thing…
2 Cor 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
Truth and grace
Truth without grace crushes.
Grace without truth enables.

Loving well
“It’s all about love isn’t it… it’s about learning how to love well.”
“We think love is going to be easy – and it is easy – but it’s only easy when it’s easy…”
These were remarks made in a HS discussion group today.
• Loving well won’t always be easy.
• Loving well won’t always be felt as such.
• Loving well involves truth and light and application toward the future.
Interested in others thoughts – what else do you see about what it is to ‘love well’?
