There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

God's Love

I have been thinking all morning about a John Piper sermon I heard earlier when I was on the treadmill. He said we have God's love all backwards. We think we are feeling God's love the most when he indulges our passions and makes much of us. Actually, we feel God's love for us when we make much of him.

Still thinking.....
