Fear calls out our doubts; God calls out our names.

But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It's a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright.

Don't let other people decide who you are.

I used to hope the things I did would work; now I hope they last.

See people for who they're becoming. Not who they were.

Sometimes we ask God for help and God gives us hope, not because it's different, but because it's the same.

It's easy to confuse a lot of activity with a purposeful life. Do what lasts; let the rest fall away.
