“Life is unpredictable. We can be happy one day and sad the next, healthy one day and sick the next, rich one day and poor the next, alive one day and dead the next. So who is there to hold on to? Who is there to feel secure with? Who is there to trust at all times? Only Jesus, the Christ.”
Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) in Bread for the Journey entry for December 24 (SanFrancisco: Harper, 1997).
