April 5

The truth of the matter is, we all come to prayer with a tangled mass of motives altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. Frankly, this side of eternity we will never unravel the good from the bad, the pure from the impure. God is big enough to receive us with all our mixture.

Thomas Merton

Journaling

Watch this short video from Francis Chan and take a moment to reflect. How does his message challenge your perspective on generosity and faith in action? Journal some thoughts on how you can live out a more tangible expression of love and sacrifice in your daily life. Where is God calling you to give selflessly?
