Quote
Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.

Quote
Jesus came to show us that the gospel explains success
in terms of giving, not taking;
self-sacrifice, not self-protection;
going to the back, not getting to the front.
The gospel shows that we win by losing, we triumph through defeat,
we achieve power through service,
and we become rich by giving ourselves away.
