Only a puny god could be bought with tithes. Only a egotistical god would be impressed with our pain. Only a temperamental god could be satisfied by sacrifices. Only a heartless god would sell salvation to the highest bidder. And only a great God does for his children what they can't do for themselves.
The first step to joy is a plea for help. Those who taste God's presence have declared spiritual bankruptcy and are aware of their spiritual crisis... Their pockets are empty. Their options are gone. They have long since stopped demanding justice; they are pleading for mercy.
~The Applause of Heaven
One week left. Seven days until THE day, Dillen's birthday. Never did we dream that we would be spending that day without her. Never did we imagine that two years after we started this adoption process, we would still be asking the Lord to bring our little girl home. We don't ask for condolences, or pity. We ask for your prayers as we beg for His mercy.
