love and despair...

 "How can a person seriously believe that God is love and has given himself up for us on the cross, because he has loved and chosen us from all eternity and has predestined us for an eternity of bliss in his presence -- how can anyone seriously believe this "to be true" and at the same time refuse to love God in return or despair of God's love.

Prayer by Hans Urs von Balthasar

...and yet so often i find myself in this predicament. 

May Easter come and deliver us from despair.

Good quote... I think this situation is so utterly possible - and in fact a near default state of human existence - because there is both belief and unbelief within, because we are saints and sinners, because we possess and do not possess him at the same time. This short sermon on waiting by Tillich comes to mind: http://www.religion-online.org/showchapter.asp?title=378&C=83
Hope you're having a good summer!
