open up and share

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom.
- Anais Nin

The joy of Jesus Christ…

“We must not treat that knowledge
simply as a source of delight.
We must do something more.
We must follow in the train of those who,
knowing God, have proclaimed Him.
Here is our task. Here is an additional delight.
This knowledge, like all knowledge,
is enjoyed best when it is shared.
And this knowledge of God,
like no other knowledge,
will bring life and health
to a sin-sick world.
It is the glory of the Christian
to tell out the glory of God.
God made us for this.
Let us arise and do it with all our might!”
- Tom Wells
