If the problem were ignorance, we'd need better education. If the problem were bad laws, we'd need better legislation. If the problem were lack of discipline, we'd need more willpower. But if sin has taken hold of the human heart, then we need more than advice—we need redemption.
Read MoreBlessed are the weary, those living with more than they can name.
Blessed are the brokenhearted, whose love has outlived what they lost.
Blessed are the small and quiet ones, whose gentleness goes unprotected in this world.
Blessed are the ones who carry deep longing, who feel the world’s fracture in their bones.
Blessed are the tendersouled, raw from caring so much.
Blessed are the ones with open hearts, aching for clarity, aching for God.
Blessed are all who breathe and break and yearn—for God calls you beloved.
Not someday. Not once things improve. But now.
