Blessed - lucky - are those who cry. Blessed are those who are sad, who mourn, who feel the loss of what they love -- because they will be held by the One who loves them. There is a strange and aching happiness only the hurting know -- for they shall be held.
The body of Christ doesn't offer you some cliches, but something to cling to -- right here in our own offered time.
His body doesn't offer some excuses, but we'll be an example -- right here in our bending down and washing your wounds.
And we are His and He is ours, so we are each other's, and we will never turn away.
- Ann Voskamp in "The Way of Abundance"
