this afternoon, while reading a book for a review article that i’m writing, i came across this quote from frederick buechner. i’ve read this one before, but it helps to be reminded and once again ponder..

To be commanded to love God at all, let alone in the wilderness, is like being commanded to be well when we are sick, to sing for joy when we are dying of thirst, to run when our legs are broken. But this is the first and great commandment nonetheless. Even in the wilderness — especially in the wilderness — you shall love him.

wow.
