Jesus loved the broken

Noorderheide, Elspeet

"Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world,

where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children

in your beautiful little house,

where you have no minority groups anywhere near you.

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved, and Jesus loved the poor

and Jesus loved the broken."

~Rich Mullins

you yourself are not in real life,

I mean, that it's more worth while to work in flesh."

~Vincent van Gogh, 1889

Only by God, the Creator

"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing,
