Darkness transfigures into light, bad transfigures into good, grief transfigures into grace, empty transfigures into full. God wastes nothing – ‘makes everything work out according to his plan.’ (Ephesians 1:11).

There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

God doesn't want your leftovers. God wants your love overtures, your first-overs, because He is your first love.

We live in a broken world - and for the life of me I can't get it all right. But Jesus takes all our broken messes and He makes them, by His grace, into a mosaic of grace.

All God makes is good. Can it be that that which seems to oppose the will of God actually is used of Him to accomplish the will of God?

We're not giving what we're called to give, unless that giving affects how we live - affects what we put on our plate and where we make our home and hang our hat and what kind of threads we've got to have on our back. Surplus Giving is the leftover you can afford to give; Sacrificial Giving is the love gift that changes how you live - because the love of Christ has changed you. God doesn't want your leftovers. God wants your love overtures, your first-overs, because He is your first love.

Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.
