Me: Watcha doing?

Prodigal: Just thinking.

Me: Maybe this will clear things up.

This is from the book No Man Is an Island by Thomas Merton

Your life is hidden with Christ in God. The discovery of ourselves in God, and of God in ourselves, by a charity that also finds all other men in God with ourselves is, therefore, not the discovery of ourselves but of Christ. First of all, it is the realization that I live now not I but Christ liveth in me.

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Hebrews 12:3

Jennifer Van Allen
