Dear Alexander, I just received Volume 51 of Spectrum and have read the amazing and insightful article by Abi Doukhan on the “givenness” of God—“Receiving vs. Grasping.” Reading it brought nurture to my soul. The God who gives and just invites me to receive, and never tires of doing that, is constantly at work. It brings me an indescribable peace, in which I can rest and trust God. Anxieties are gone. Hunger for power is gone. Nights and days, pains and pleasures, tears and smiles are all components of a life in which God is the caring Giver. I was blessed to read the article. —Jan Paulsen
