God is Calling Us
May 21, 2017
The devotional book God Calling has blessed many Christians and non-Christians since its publication in 1930. In 1985 my mother had just died an unexpected death at age 60 and, as I looked through her bookcase for anything that might have inspired her, I saw this worn copy on the shelf between the Bible and the AA “Big Book.” All three were shabby, with notes written in the margins - quite a treasure! It was November 12, 1985. The devotional for that date spoke about “The Voiceless Cry” that comes from anguished hearts and is heard above all the music of Heaven.

It is because I find God in prison, in the face of every person I’ve had the privilege to meet there. I bet if you visited St. Dysmas yourself, you would find God there too, like so many others, greeted by light in the darkest of places.
