On this Resurrection morning, I’m introducing a new Sunday series, in which I’ll select a word or phrase appropriate to the season and post some quotations about it from the Bible and my favorite “old souls.” Hope you enjoy. A blessed Easter to you all!
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. – Zechariah 13:6
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. – Charles Spurgeon
The wound is where the light gets in. – singer/songwriter Jason Gray
A not admitting of the wound
by Emily Dickinson
A not admitting of the wound
Until it grew so wide
That all my Life had entered it
And there were troughs beside –
A closing of the simple lid that opened to the sun
Until the tender Carpenter
Perpetual nail it down –
Wonderful words Meredith. Happy Easter 🐣
