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!

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.

When we don’t take God too seriously, others don’t take our leadership too seriously!

What I thought as a young adult is you act like you have it together whether or not you do because that is what church people do. That is not what God has called us to do.

Faith is not believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God when everything in me trembles and quakes.

If we only understood that when we devote our lives to the glory of God, our existence on planet earth will leave marks---eternal marks.

Sometimes, God may prioritize performing a miracle on our hearts and minds over a miracle concerning our circumstances.
