“Jesus is the savior of the world. We are not. We are called to witness, always with our lives and sometimes with our words, to the great things God has done for us. But this witness must come from a heart that is willing to give without getting anything in return. The more we trust in God’s unconditional love for us, the more able we will be to proclaim the love of Jesus.”
Henri Nouwen in Bread for the Journey entry for August 8 (SanFrancisco: Harper, 1997).
