Blow Quote by Eugene H. Peterson

“O God, when my faith gets overladen with dust, blow it clean with the wind of your Spirit. When my habits of obedience get stiff and rusty, anoint them with the oil of your Spirit. Restore the enthusiasm of my first love for you.” quote by Eugene H. Peterson — Download Open image
