Holy Interruptions: A Call to Love

“The Lord does not turn away from his people’s sin and suffering with irritation or disgust. Rather, he draws near the most aching, unattractive parts of us.

As we lean on the Spirit for help to do this, we might ask ourselves, ‘How can I orient and structure my life in ways that are interruptible and available to the needs of others?’” Holy Interruptions: A Call to Love by Mallory Manning
