wonder and the margins...

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

just finished a quick little book... jazz notes by donald miller. great little read and refreshing.

some snip its for you to ponder...

"too much time is spent charting god on a grid. too little time is spent allowing our hearts to feel awe. so, by reducing christian spirituality to formula, we deprive our hearts of wonder."

"you cannot understand some things, and you must learn to live with this. not only must you learn to live with this, you must learn to enjoy this."

"wonder is the feeling we get when we do just that - let go of our silly answers, our mapped out rules that we want god to follow. and i don't believe that there is any better worship than wonder."

Q: can you truly wonder without LOVE?
Q: is not LOVE what drives curiosity and wonder?

...because at the end of the day, is that not what our hearts crave and long for... LOVE... a sense to belong to something, to someone?

this craving to know LOVE creates the curiosity.

more thoughts to come...
