"To Live in Wonder"
Wonder is an essential attitude of heart - without it we will see nothing as it truly is.
The Scriptures tell us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” - which also means that other human beings should be approached with awe and wonder. We will not see them nor love them as we ought if our heart is dwelling in some other mode.

My own children have always been a revelation of the world about me - a chance to see the world as though for the first time. To watch the wonder of a child beset with the jaded cynicism of our culture is surely to see one of the most crucial battles of our age. Cynicism is generally always correct for it lacks the wonder that alone would reveal its error...
