I am far too often the author of terribly poor decisions. Yet I must rest in the unalterable fact that God says I am far better than what the sum total of those decisions would ever suggest.

If the pursuit of perfection is a way to prove our worth, in the end the pursuit will only prove our imperfections.

It has nothing to do with who I am as compared to everyone else. It has everything to do with who I am in companionship with God.

One of the greatest lies is to believe that we don’t have value. One of the greatest mistakes is to act on that belief. And the greatest liberation is found in looking at the cross of Christ and realizing the enormity of the lie.

You are greater than you can possibly imagine, if you would only free yourself up to imagine.
