Book Review
I have been reading a book called SOUL CRAVINGS by Erwin McManus. I value him as a thinker and use his podcast for my own spiritual refreshment time.
I have 2/3 through the book & highly recommend it.
Here is an excerpt from a section i just read...
It's just too hard to believe that if you come near to God, you will find yourself not drawing in condemnation, but swimming in compassion.
Jesus called to all who were weary and who found their souls exhausted to come to him and find rest. He is telling us that God will be for us our place called home.
We run from God because we long to be loved and we have not and would not embrace us. We run from the One our souls crave.
It is insanity to run from God and search for love.
