Quote for the Day

Sometimes I see humanity as a sea of people starving for affection, tenderness, care, love, acceptance, forgiveness, and gentleness. Everyone seems to cry: "Please love me." The cry becomes louder and the response so inaudible that people kill each other and themselves in despair.

--Henri Nouwen

And sometimes I think that this is not only true, but also accounts for most everything everybody does. And it makes me very sad. And very hopeful. Because Jesus offers us all of those things.
