Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
To see our sins, wounds, idols, and failures apart from God's is simply too much. We will either minimize our condition, thus marginalizing our need of grace, or we will run away in hopeless despair to the arms of a lesser love or to the worship of lesser gods. But . . .
God pursues us in our restlessness.
receives us in our sinfulness.
holds us in our brokenness, and
frees us from our lovelessness.
