Quotes from Jan Johnson

The road to becoming such a person-a child of' light-involves abandoning everything to God: what others think of us, what others' harmful motives might be, fears about what others might do to us, hopes for getting ahead. We come to truly believe that God knows what he's doing, and he'll keep on doing it (I Peter 4:19, m,,(,).

The point of simplicity is not efficiency, increased productivity or even living a healthier, more relaxed life. The point is making space for treasuring God's own self.

This sort of rhythm schools us to "live from the heart" more minutes of the day. To talk to others is to also pray for them.
