We’d avoid a lot of insecurity, if we fully, wholly believed in God’s wild affection for us.

When God wants to do an impossible task, He takes an impossible person and breaks her.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

It’s an act of our will to choose to see people simply as wildly loved by God, to assume their beauty before guessing their depravity.

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.
