“As praise became more a part of my days, I moved into a fuller understanding of how very vulnerable every one of us is. At the same time an unseen world swung into sharper focus. I began to feel safer than I had felt before, more able to give shelter to frightening feelings of inadequacy and helplessness. For the first time I understood the meaning of God’s becoming vulnerable in Jesus Christ. I wanted to protect his life in me and among us.”
–Elizabeth O’Connor, Cry Pain, Cry Hope, p. 128
