>>MAKOTO FUJIMURA: If you wrestle with the deepest part of a humanity, including darkness,
you are wrestling with a reality that God has created.
>>DAN CALLAWAY: I was walking through Brooklyn one time and this man,
he walked by me and I was getting out of his way and he was just like,
"get out of my way." I mean but it was just like I felt like a dart
go right into my stomach. It was like the hate and the bitterness that came from this man.
It just hit me, and I know everybody has experienced that. I know everyone has had that experience
of just being hit in the gut. And it just enraged me. For four blocks I was just like
"God!", you know I was so mad. And I realized...
that if that little dart of hate upset me so much.
What was it like for Jesus to take the entire weight of sin, and darkness, and evil into
his own body on the cross? And that includes mine. That includes that people that I've
hurt, and that I have talked poorly about behind their back or to their face, the people I
have stolen from, the people I have disrespected, the people I have lied about.
He took that all from me.

>>MAKOTO FUJIMURA: He came to limit himself to our realities so that we can take what's
ordinary and we can be amazed by it. Little things in life, like William Blake said,
"finding this entire universe in a grain of sand. to help us say no, this is not just about you,
it's about God. It's about the whole universe. So, don't be afraid to experience joy,
but to give glory to the creator who gave you these things.
>>DAN CALLAWAY: I think that's everything, knowing that he has got beyond your best interests at heart,
and he longs to pour nothing but goodness and wonderful things into your life.
He has an infinite capacity to give. We have an infinite capacity to receive.
