“Do not be surprised that the best human efforts achieve less than we hope for. Often much less. Do not be disillusioned when what we do achieve is weak and fragile. It is (as it has always been) God’s work to bring in His kingdom. Only when He establishes his kingdom will we know the peace for which we long. Only when we remember Bethlehem will we pray authentically “Thy kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10)”  ~ John Woodhouse
