“Sometimes truth is costly but not nearly as costly as deception.”

I assure you that some of the most awesome things God has ever done for me have come out of the most awful things I’d done to myself.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine altar.

Kindness is willing to look in the face of the hurting.

Sometimes we stand to learn the most about God from the situations we understand the least.

God is always better than he has to be. You can count on that.

Every single thing you’ve been through in your life has had a purpose.

Never will He hold your hand more tightly than when He is leading you through the dark.

It’s critical that we know what we believe, no matter what we feel that we know what is true, no matter what we see.

God longs for us to freely pour out every single emotion, no matter how toxic, right before Him.

Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.

Regardless of who has betrayed you and what promises they didn’t keep- God is firm in His commitment to you.

Sometimes God allows storms to come together in such a way that they ultimately fulfill something that would never have happened otherwise.

God made our souls to long for Him, and we are not fully satisfied without His presence in our lives.

I don’t know how, but I know Who.

When we resist God, we draw near to Satan.
