“What I believe about Jesus could not be contained in a thousand books. I believe in Jesus more than I believe in the pen with which I am writing these words. I cannot, however, expect you to believe my beliefs. Imagine you meet me in a cafe and I introduce you to a friend. I say, “This is Jesus”. I do not then give you a list of things you must believe about His family and a thick book to memorize before I let you speak to Him. I don’t ask you to believe in Him – because you can see Him for yourself. I ask you only to trust Him and to get to know Him.” -Aidan Clarke
and another…
Faith is work
It is a struggle
You must struggle
with all your heart.
And on the way God
will ambush you.
-Walter Wangerin
