Power and Freedom and Joy

“When we are caught up in power we are not free, but in bondage to the power we have grasped. God is completely free because power has been laughingly thrown away in order that love may reign. The throwing away of power requires enormous power.”

“The impossible is all that makes life itself possible, with all the anxieties and griefs and pains that come with experience. Joy, too, I don’t forget joy, but joy sometimes comes in the midst of pain.”

“Freedom is not an easy choice.”

“Love. Love is not power, but is that humility which leads to freedom. A terrifying freedom!”

-Madeleine L’Engle
