Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
If the lost lamb got a party, and all the neighbors get called over for a missing coin, imagine what kind of bash-of-the-century God throws for a runaway child come home.
The Pursuing God
Joshua Ryan Butler
“There was a good reason the previous owners covered this all up!” I started saying over and over again. “It’s a lot easier to cover up brokenness than to restore it.”
Saturate
Jeff Vanderstelt
Or perhaps we take seriously the act of going to bed and asking, How am I going to end this thing? Shall we lie awake in bed, letting all the replay tapes run? Shall we browse our phones for some recent celebrity scandal to bounce meaninglessly around our brain? Or shall we walk intentionally toward the rest we know we need? No one can sleep while believing that she needs to keep the world spinning. But real rest comes when we thank God that we don’t need to, because he does. Thus we kneel by the bed and place the period of God’s mercy and care for us at the end of the day.
