“The more you rely on intellectual and philosophical concepts of God, the more difficult it becomes to simply experience and enjoy the wonder of God.”
Mac MacKenzie“All that we have and don't have is a grace. Even the awareness of grace is a grace in which we should give thanks."”
Mac MacKenzie“If we feel unloved, it is difficult to truly love. If we feel rejected, it is difficult to truly accept. If we feel afraid, it is difficult to truly live. If we feel abandoned, it is difficult to truly belong. If we feel despair, it is difficult to truly hope. If we feel insignificant, it is difficult to truly care. It is difficult to draw water from an empty well. Without God, all of these things are difficult, if not nigh impossible. Thank God, that in Christ, all things are possible, for he is the hope for the beggary of our soul and the remedy for a broken, fragmented world.”
Mac MacKenzie“The spiritual journey is an adventure of exploration that gradually starts to open up before us when we are ready to begin asking the questions, “Who am I? and “Who are you?”
Mac MacKenzie“When we are courageous enough to begin exploring the ‘Why’s” and the ‘Who’s' of life, the ‘How’s’ and ‘What’s’ of life start to come into focus as well. "”
Mac MacKenzie“It is in descending in the humble silence of prayer that we are able to ascend to the greatest heights of true human fulfillment in union with God.”
