Desperate Hope


This article is an excerpt, slightly modified, from Barbara Milligan’s book Desperate Hope: Experiencing God in the Midst of Breast Cancer, published originally by InterVarsity Press. To order a copy, go here

Quote of the moment

"The image of resting in the palm of God’s hand—the “letting go and letting God” experience—could imply a kind of passivity. But there is nothing passive about surrendering to God’s love. Surrender does not mean we do nothing. It means that we do everything in reliance on God. "
