yearning for approval
from others
is a silent slavery
freedom is in the removal
of sideways steeples
pointing inwardly
it is in wrenching our
wayfaring weathervanes
to fix on true north
it is in receiving
and savoring
true love's
only source
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. John 15:13
