“We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”
(From Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle)
A suggestion for your prayer and meditation:
Read each line of the verse below slowly and in rhythm with your breath.
The true light,
which enlightens everyone,
was coming into the world
John 1:9
Pastor Patty Fox 40 days with 40 Christian mystics
My heart breaks for those whose religion (especially Christianity) is a serious of "dos" and "do nots". Faith is not a set of divinely ordered rules to restrict us, it's something which sets us free, causes us to shine and reveals God's love in the world through us.
