She had a friend that was always dissatisfied with their church. This, in part, was her response:
“It is easy for any child to pick out the faults in the sermon on his way home from church every Sunday,” she writes. “It is impossible for him to find out the hidden love that makes a man, in spite of his intellectual limitations, his neuroticism, his own lack of strength, give up his life to the service of God’s people, however bumblingly he may go about it.”
The Church’s failings sit on the surface to be seen, as do her people’s failings. The sometimes astonishing goodness usually lies below the surface. “It is what is invisible that God sees and that the Christian must look for,” she says. “Because he knows the consequences of sin, he knows how deep in you have to go to find love.”
Something to pray about. Peace friends.
