” Over the destiny of woman and of man lies the dark shadow of aa word og God’s wrath, a burden from God which they must carry. The woman must bear her children in pain, and in providing for his family the man must reap many thorns and thistles, and labor in the sweat of his brow. This burden should cause both man and wife to call on God, and should remind them of their eternal destiny in his kingdom. Earthly society is only the beginning of the heavenly society, the earthly home an image of the heavenly home, the earthly family a symbol of the fatherhood of God.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Love is not a feeling. It is an overmastering passion- to cast ourselves down like a waterfall, in happy giving, asking for nothing in return except for the joy of doing so. When we really begin to learn and pratice that lesson we shall begin to feel ‘at home’ in the eternal world of selfless love. It is not some special feeling one waits for, nor some special person to evoke the love. It is an attitude of will. I will cast myself down in giving. The lower I go, the more love I am able to transmit from God to others, just like the Lord of love himself, who was not content until He found and took the lowest place in the universe.
Hannah Hurnard
