Risky

There are two things I hope you understand & remember about this particular blog, if nothing else:
1. God has a heart and endures heartbreak with us and because of us.
2. Genuine apologies can go a long way.

Love is risky, life is risky and you are never alone on that two way street.

"The Bible begins with God making people who have freedom. Freedom to love God or not love God. And these people consistently choose not to love God. It's written in Genesis 6:6 that God 'regretted that He had made human beings on the earth, and His heart was deeply troubled.' These ancient writers saw God as having a heart, that feels, responds, hurts. A heart that fills with pain.
God...grieving.
And what is the source of this grieving?
People."
(Rob Bell, Sex God).


"When you make a move toward a person, when you extend yourself to them...you give them power. Power to say yes or no. Power to decide. If she decides to love him, she runs the huge risk that she might have her heart broken. And this risk does not end with marriage."
