I am a complete version of me because no willpower or positive thinking or bootstrap mentality will ever complete what grace has already done.
Giving freely, when done in the context of the other practices, has a way of binding hearts, because it is done out of seeing and knowing the person right in front of us.
Your life is only a blink long —and then you wake up to the forever that your life chose.
Follow the lines of words, and they will show you the Way. The Way forward, the Way through, the way Home — the way to survive lions.
You don’t always have to know where you’re going — when you know you’re going with God.
Giving up something for the love of Jesus —isn’t really giving up anything when He gave up everything for the ones He loves.
The highlight reel of even the very best earthbound stories will pale in comparison to our resurrected future.
We are not failures, not un-beautiful, not unworthy after all.
It starts with us—ordinary, regular us—taking one step, then two, and then a hundred small steps in an intentional direction.
Will I trust God and His promises, power, wisdom, and love, or will I proudly turn to my own resources to manage my life?
Just because God does not remove the thorn doesn’t mean He’s not using it for our good and for His glory.
Authenticity means eliminating the gap between your inner belief and what you reveal to the outside world—in other words, letting your true self be seen.
Just as I personally had learned to trust Him as I walked through a season of grief, our family would learn to trust God during a season of need.
A flourishing human existence finds its source of power in God and is demonstrated through a life of love.
