Quote

A woman from my work asked be if i new of any interesting books to read and like a thought that was not my own a book came to mind. A book that I feel is very powerful. It is not a story but is written just as if the author was talking straight to the reader. I had a copy of it at home and offered for her to borrow it. As the day progressed at work one quote kept running though my head. I thought over every line of it and the power behind each word. What gets me most is on my way home the quote was lost to my mind like it hadn't been me keeping it there all day. I could remember bits a pieces but not the whole thing. like a broken puzzle needing to be put back together. When i got home I looked it up:
"The good news is that we don't have to become gods to become something worth living, worth respecting, worth valuing. Don't let your short comings and flaws convince you that you need to become something other than human. Our brokenness is not proof that god could not or would not love us, but proof that what we need is a God who both created us and loves us. What our souls long to become is not something other than human, but to become beautifully human. (entry 14 - Destiny, Soul Cravings)
This one quote has changed my life in so many ways and has lifted my spirits at so many different times.
