"People travel to wonder at the heights of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the river, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
-St. Augustine
This quote keeps the image of Christ quite close to my mind. keeps the wrestling match alive, as i ache for change in my heart to see fruit that will last, birthed from within. fruit of dignity and love. of generousity to those around me. men, women, kiddos throughout the red light district. madams and oppressed little girls.
customers and pimps.
beggars. and street kids.
my community. myself.
all made in the image of Christ.
Oh Lord, stir the wonder of passing by your created Beloved.
