2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART

BREAKING FREE

Breath of Life, breathe on me...
Wind of God, blow through me...
Spirit of Truth, rebirth me...
pull back the covers of my practical, logical world
and baptize my knowledge with the mystery of faith.
help me to believe and to stop trying to understand.
after all, how could I ever wrap my mind around something--
someone--
greater than the universe itself?

your presence doesn't make me comfortable,
but it comforts me.
your light isn't easy to look at,
but it reveals me.
the spiritual life is an absurd mystery.
help me to enter it,
as it enters me.
the first step isn't one of reason, but one of faith.
help me to take it. even now. even here. today.
amen.

8. POTENT QUOTABLES

"The best of it is, God is with us."
- John Wesley

"You must GO forward on your knees."
- Taylor Hudson

===========our|sponsor===========

NOTHING WAS THE SAME AFTER THEY MET HIM.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to meet Jesus face to face? What we often forget is that for a handful of people in ancient Palestine, meeting Jesus was as real as meeting a friend for lunch!

This collection of fictional, first-person accounts tells the stories of those who met, knew, and loved Jesus.

* Listen to Mary reflect on her mysterious young boy as she and Joseph escape with Jesus to Egypt.
* Eavesdrop on Satan as he tempts Jesus in the desert.
* Hear what goes through the mind of a teenage guy in a death squad as he watches Jesus pardon a condemned woman.

These, and many other characters, tell us what it was like to meet the strange, serious, joyful, emotional rabbi from Nazareth. Each voice helps us better understand the Jesus they knew and how he changed their lives in profound ways. Included with each story are questions for reflection and commentary to help you meet the mystery for yourself.

You can find "Never the Same" at:
Order here.

Also available in your local Christian bookstore
