Sunday Inspiration: A Brave Faith

I don’t want an easy faith, I want a brave faith. I want a faith that takes risks, that asks questions, that experiments, that evolves, that thrives amidst change and obeys amidst doubt. I want a faith that engages both my heart and my head, a faith that operates out of love, not fear, a faith that leaps when it needs to and crawls when it has to.
—Rachel Held Evans

Sunday Inspiration: Peace

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
—Thomas Merton

Sunday Inspiration: The Divine Image

Every person bears the divine image, and so when anyone is injured, the heart of God is wounded.
—John Calvin

Sunday Inspiration: Do Not Be Daunted

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
—The Talmud

Sunday Inspiration: Gratitude

Since I’m not sure of the address to which to send my gratitude, I put it out there in everything I do.
—Michael J. Fox

Sunday Inspiration: More Light

Every positive thought we pass between us makes room for more light.
—John Lewis

Sunday Inspiration: Love and Truth

Do not accept anything as truth that lacks love, and do not accept anything as love which lacks truth. One without the other is a destructive lie.
—Edith Stein

Sunday Inspiration: Gratefulness

I no longer want to have anything to do with love that forgets to be grateful.
—Thomas Merton

Sunday Inspiration: Miracles

Where there is great love there are always miracles.
—Willa Cather

Sunday Inspiration: Kindness

Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in this world.
—A. A. Malee
