God, help me to see others not as enemies or as ungodly but rather as thirsty people. And give me the courage and compassion to offer your Living Water, which alone quenches deep thirst.

Spiritual maturity is not knowing what to do with your whole life, but just knowing what to do next.

I don’t wanna touch the sky no more, I just wanna feel the ground when I’m coming down.
