Words of Wisdom for the Weekend: Travelling into our Stories

"The more authentically we travel into our own lives and our own stories, the more we will lay claim to God's image deep within us. This is both the beginning point and the destination. The more deeply we immerse ourselves in the story of God, the more our lives are filled with the love of Christ . . . And the more we are available we are to God, the more available we are to truly love ourselves, one another and the world. This is my prayer for all of you . . . that you might 'comprehend, with all the saints, what is

the breadth 

and length 

and height 

and depth, 

and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, 
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.' (Ephesians 3:18-19)."
