A batch of the best highlights from what Lukas's read, .
Here is the difficulty: the desire for Eden is God-given and beautiful. But the demand for Eden takes us away from God and eventually brings harm to ourselves and others. This infuses us with greater shame and debris, thus creating a darker and more desperate demand to reenter Eden. The hideous cycle churns through our inner landscape like a category 5 hurricane. The damage to our hearts can be catastrophic.
Redeeming Heartache
Dan B. Allender
The wise man will gratefully“accept his lot.” You and I have been given a heritage from God in our work and in whatever else we have. That is God’s gift along with all the trials and frustrations. Living by faith means enjoying all that God has given us for what it truly is: his gift. This is fitting and proper.
Ecclesiastes Through New Eyes
Jeffrey Meyers
The truth is this: our fear that life may be futile is the first step on a vital journey. This fear awakens us to our need for someone to step into the darkness and allay our fears. And the Preacher of Ecclesiastes tells it like it is. Paul goes on to say that this cosmic anxiety need not be a permanent condition for any of us. It can be eased by the fiercest brand of hope that you could ever imagine; the 100 percent proof variety that comes from Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.
