Insecurity's best cover is perfectionism. That's where it becomes an art form.

Much guilt arises in the life of the believer from practicing the chameleon life of environmental adaptation.

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

In my morning time with God, I ask Him to fill all my hollow places with His lavish, unfailing love. This frees me from craving the approval of others and requiring them to fill up my “cup.” Then, if someone takes the time to demonstrate his or her love for me, that's the overflow! I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I didn't emotionally require it!

A powerful motivation for believing God in our present is intentionally remembering how He's worked in our past.

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