Love the simplicity and wisdom here. 🌿 It’s so refreshing to come across a quote that, in just a few words, conveys such depth and truth. There’s something really powerful about being able to express complex ideas so simply, and this quote does exactly that. It brings me back to the basics and reminds me that sometimes the most profound lessons are the simplest ones. I feel like I’m going to carry this one with me for a long time!

Acts 17:24-28 – "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. β€˜For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'"
