I'm currently reading "The Irresistable Revolution" by Shane Caliborne and I feel that God is really speaking to me through this book, just as He did with "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. Last night the things I read really hit home with the organization I've founded [more on this later]...
"Over and over when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet."
"I felt so thirsty for God, so embarassed by Christianity, and so ready for something more."
"We do indeed have a God of resurrection, a God who can create beauty from the messes we make of our world."
"God takes care of the lilies and the sparrows, and God will take care of you. Just come."
"We are called not to be successful but to be faithful."
"I remembered Gandhi's saying that what we are doing may seem insignificant, but it is most important that we do it. So we did."
"We can do no great things, just small things with great love. It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into doing it."
What would Jesus do? Exactly what I'm doing now. I feel completely validated.

I read "Jesus for President" by Shane. Although I disagree with a few of his political positions, I thought he had some interesting ideas. He is very creative.
I often underestimate the influence of every single action, particularly the small ones, has upon the world. Love is definetly the utmost important ingredient for everything. Easier said than done. But we are told to do the hard things.
