The Meaning of Words

It's easy to say, "Lord, my life is yours." I do not stutter through the syllables. My tongue does not twist on the vowels or consonants. I comprehend the quotes, the comma, the period. I do not need a dictionary to decipher these five short words:

"Lord, my life is yours."

The English is easy. But the math is hard.

How can I count the cost?

C.S. Lewis on God's Inescapable Presence

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with him. He walks everywhere incognito."

Richard Paul Evans on the book that is your life

"Rarely do we invest the time to open the book of another's life. When we do, we are usually surprised to find its cover so misleading and its reviews so flawed."

G.K. Chesterton on Self

"Man must have just enough faith in himself to have adventures, and just enough doubt of himself to enjoy them."

George MacDonald on Fear

“Endless must be our terror until we come heart to heart with the fire-core of the universe, the first and the last of the living One.”
