ScriptureRevelation 3:20 (NIV) "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."RefrainGod waits for my yes.QuoteDenise Levertov, from Annunciation"The engendering Spirit did not enter her without consent. God waited.She was free to accept or to refuse, choice is integral to humanness.She did not cry, 'I cannot. I am not worthy,' Nor, 'I have not the strength.' She did not submit with gritted teeth, raging, coerced. Bravest of all humans, consent illuminated her. The room filled with its light, the lily glowed in it, and the iridescent wings. Consent, courage unparalleled, opened her utterly." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
