Truly, God is so beautiful and so good that he takes the broken parts of us, and he heals them in such a way that we understand ourselves and God in a richer, deeper way. It also brings a sense of compassion on other people's journey and allows us to see others in such a way to bring empathy and partner with him on other people's journey. And that's how he does it. He's so good that he can bring a more beautiful version of you, not without blemish, but in spite of it, that he puts his hands on our hearts and brings healing to those places.

So don't ever move beyond the cross as if the cross is just one of many topics to be covered in the bible. Rather, the cross to speak to all those topics. Let the cross and its light illuminate all things. First, let it illuminate your sin and mine. When the cross reveals the depths of your sin, don't try to run away from that judgment, but let that light expose you that you might confess and be forgiven.

His heart is transformed, and the spell of the repetition of February 2 ends, and Phil is a new man, waking to a new song on February 3. I know this seems like kind of a silly story to tell of salt of the earth and light in the world, but it is in its core what reveals what light does, how it changes ourselves and others, how we are if we go in the world just being the light, we can change things.
