I think of the church as this bride of Christ, who is incredibly capable of doing amazing things. And so where we see injustice, we come, not with fists clenched but with palms up.

I used to think I could learn about Jesus by studying Him, but now I know Jesus doesn't want stalkers.

I used to think being loved was the greatest thing to think about, but now I know love is never satisfied just thinking about it.

...love is never stationary.

I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.

Cynicism is fear posing as confidence; joy is hope let off the leash.

Grace works that way. It's a kind word from a gentle person with an impossible prayer. It's a force sometimes transmitted best hand to hand in a dark place.
