Broken world Quote by Emily C. Heath
““It is charity only in the sense of the original meaning of the word, the one that comes from charis, or grace. And for Christians it is the sharing of a grace that has been given generously to us. Our work in the world, our grateful sharing of the grace we have received, is about loving a broken world enough to want to fix it. It’s about continually trying, even though we know we never will quite succeed. Not entirely, anyway. But because we are witnesses of the triumph of God’s love over sure destruction, we know that our work in this life will never be entirely in vain. It can’t be if we believe, in any way, that resurrection is true.””
