Sept 8--"read with the heart"
"Be encouraged by their lively faith and intimacy with Jesus Christ"
"The transformation in us is God's work. It is a work of grace. That deeply transformative grace comes to us not through our own doing but as a pure gift."

In the world of radical objectivism in which I find myself, a quiet invitation into the mystery of the heart (where God has done God's best work) is refreashing. I look forward to praying and listening with the heart.
