"We do not have to work out how to get ourselves into a good position for having a relationship with God, we do not have to design ways of explaining our position to him, we do not have to create a pretty face for ourselves, we do not have to achieve any state of feeling or understanding. The newness inherent in any situation of encounter with God is brought by him, not by us..."
-Simon Tugwell, The Beatitudes, Soundings in Christian Traditions
I pulled this from my father's facebook page. It was too good.
