BRENNAN MANNINGOur hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps.
BRENNAN MANNINGThe gospel declares that no matter how dutiful or prayerful we are, we can’t save ourselves. What Jesus did was sufficient.

BRENNAN MANNINGTo lend each other a hand when we’re falling, perhaps that’s the only work that matters in the end.
BRENNAN MANNINGHow glorious the splendor of a human heart that trusts that it is loved!
BRENNAN MANNINGMy deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.
BRENNAN MANNINGLetting ourselves be loved by God is more important than loving God.
BRENNAN MANNINGWe are made for Christ, and nothing less will ever satisfy us.

BRENNAN MANNINGToday on planet Earth, may you experience the wonder and beauty of yourself as Abba’s Child and temple of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ
BRENNAN MANNINGI have been seized by the power of a great affection.
BRENNAN MANNINGWe must go out into a desert of some kind (your backyard will do) and come into a personal experience of the awesome love of God.
BRENNAN MANNINGOn the last day, Jesus will look us over not for medals, diplomas, or honors, but for scars.
