About This Quote
(About changing faith) At our best, Christians embrace it, leaving enough space within orthodoxy for God to surprise us every now and then. There is no other way to live. There is no other way to see the world. There is no other way to be a person. We need to constantly open ourselves up to new things because life’s greatest joy is never knowing what tomorrow will bring.
