“If you say ‘I believed in God, I trusted God, and He didn’t come through’ …You only trusted God to meet your agenda.”
— Tim Keller
“Seeking God — really seeking — is more than just reading a few verses from the Bible in the morning and trying to be a good person that day. Seeking requires me to sacrifice the things I feel compelled to chase so I can be available to notice God’s clear direction. Whatever we chase, like it or not, gains our full attention. Jeremiah 29:13, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (NIV)”
— Lysa TerKeurst
“But we had hoped he was the one to redeem Israel” it’s Good Friday & I’m losing it
They didn’t KNOW he was going to come back
They spent years of their lives following this man, watching him perform miracles, truly believing he was the propheted messiah
And then he DIES. Like EVERYONE ELSE
and suddenly your world comes crashing down because how can the messiah die? But there he is, bloody and beaten and dead and what does this mean? Was this all a lie? Everything you thought you knew, you gave up everything, you believed in your heart and soul he was the one
and he’s dead
Matthew 25:35-40
The face of Christ is among the sacks and baskets of the farmworker; the face of Christ is among those who are tortured and mistreated in prisons; the face of Christ is dying of hunger in the children who have nothing to eat; the face of Christ is in the poor who ask the church for their voice to be heard. How can the church deny this request when it is Christ who is telling us to speak for them?
Oscar Romero (via hymnsofheresy)
CAN YOU SPARE SOME CHANGE?
What good is It, I wonder, if the bread is changed and we are not?
What good is it if the wine is changed and we are not?
What difference does it make if the bread and the wine are radically transformed and we remain untouched, unchanged?

Little Everyday Ways to Live the Works of Mercy
Feed the Hungry: Take a friend or coworker out for a meal and offer to pay. Invite someone over for dinner. Keep granola bars or other small snacks with you in case someone ever needs a quick bite to eat.
Give Drink to the Thirsty: Leave your change in the vending machine. Brink extra water to parks or sporting events just in case. Give a friend or coworker a couple of dollars to get a drink and tell them not to pay you back.
Clothe the Naked: Let a friend borrow your jacket if they're cold. When you buy new clothes, try to give some of your old clothes away. Always donate instead of throwing away- if the clothes are in good condition.
Shelter the Homeless: Invite a friend to stay over if they're having a rough time at home.
Visit the Sick: When a friend/classmate/coworker is absent, check on them. If it's a classmate, offer to give them the notes they missed. If a family member is sick, make them soup or offer to bring them their medicine. Call an elderly relative.
Visit the Imprisoned: Be kind to someone trapped by a bad reputation. Pray for your state/country's prisoners, especially death row inmates.
Bury the Dead: When you visit a graveyard, pull weeds around some of the graves that are not well maintained or pick up trash as you walk. Volunteer to help in any way you can when a loved one passes, or even the loved one of a loved one.
Counsel the Doubtful: When someone asks you for advice, listen patiently and be genuinely helpful when you answer them. Wish a friend or coworker good luck before a test/presentation/interview. Pay attention to others and point out the strengths which you admire in them.
Instruct the Ignorant: Be patient when someone asks you a question. Read a book to a young relative/neighbor, or help them with homework.
Admonish Sinners: Be open and honest when you do something you shouldn't; it's an amazing example for others. When someone asks your opinion about a moral issue, tell the truth.
Comfort the Sorrowful: Send a kind message to someone who is having a hard time. Listen when someone needs to vent. Be considerate when you discuss mental health issues. Smile at a stranger who looks sad; tell them to have a nice day.
Forgive Offenses/Bear Wrongs Patiently: When someone cuts you off in traffic, pray that they arrive at their destination safely and quickly. Be the first to apologize when you argue with a friend. Be friendly to someone who is rude to you. Help someone to remedy a mistake they have made. Let it go when someone corrects you even though you are right.
Pray for the Living and the Dead: Pick people in your life and say a prayer for them! And always pray for the souls in purgatory :)
Christ is born! Glorify Him!

The Refuge and The Hope of Sinners
“I know the plans I have for you,” announces the Lord. “I want you to enjoy success. I do not plan to harm you. I will give you hope for the years to come. Jeremiah 29:11
Hallelujah, death is beaten Christ is risen from the grave Hallelujah, it is finished All to You, the highest praise
