Blessings Reader, I want you to remember. To remember something like the ground that we stand on. So easy to see, yet not see. To feel, yet not feel. Like the earth beneath us, the love of God touched us, and formed us from our first breath. It sustains us in the midst of the turbulence of life, and in the stillness of life. It is simply here. It simply exists for us to move through, breathe in, and to take rest in. The expansiveness of God's love is ever undeserving. A love that holds each of us, all of us, through all the parts of ourselves we cannot yet see. It is a love that confounds the smallness of our imaginations. A love that darkness and hate can never overcome. A love that sees our every trespass, yet keeps no record of wrongs. A love that invites us to abandon fear, entitlement, and hate. A love whose invitation is aromatic, sweet, unending, and quiet. A love that longs to sustain you. That sustained Jesus, and longs for us to be refreshed in the midst of our work. A love that labors with you, and longs to give you hope. A love that weaves all of us together within the bottomless well of God's love. Until Next Week Posted this Week

A Prayer for the Week to ComeMay you be reminded this week that you are known by our God. That you were loved at your first breath. Loved by our God when you were incapable of earning it. Now return that gracious and overwhelming love back into our world. Love along with our God as His kingdom comes. |

May His face turn toward you and bring you peace."Numbers 6:24-25 The Lord is generous to us. His grace, mercy, and love are lavished upon us in a way that breaks part of me as I try to comprehend it. It breaks me in such a beautiful way as I understand the places in my...
Deepening our Christianity the Monday Newsletter of Paul Prins Edition #29 · 4 March 2024 Blessings Reader, What is Hard to See Our sight is one of our strongest senses. We can often see things far before we can hear or smell them. Touching and tasting are deeply intimate in comparison to sight. There is proximity needed to touch and feel. Taste needs even more. We need it to enter our bodies for that sense to work. Sight is the sense that most often introduces and defines our world. It is...
Deepening our Christianity the Monday Newsletter of Paul Prins Edition #28 · 26 February 2024 Blessings Reader, Following your Love There is much talk in the Gospels about following Jesus. He explicitly tells us to take up our cross and follow Him. This is such a visual and physical first response. We know the story, and we know what happens Easter weekend. Jesus literally and physically takes up His cross, carries it to the top of Calvary, and is crucified upon it by the Romans. This brings...
