When you believe God is who he says he is, when you hang onto him and his Word in faith, his truth sets you free.6 The truth you store up in silence comes back to you in the storm, and it lifts you away as on a life raft from the fears and disappointments that would otherwise pull you under. When you abide in his Word, he abides in you.

I also came to understand that our authenticity (or lack thereof) is made evident by the fruit that our life is bearing.

Christian life isn’t a one-person race. It’s a relay. You are not alone; you’re part of a team assembled by our unstoppable God to achieve his eternal purposes.

When there is a fight between your heart and your head, experience has taught me that the best thing you can do is pick up your Bible and remind yourself of what God says.

The same God who brought you here is the same God that will take you there! Stop worrying about how and trust Him. He who promised is faithful!

Our sense of calling should be like an unfolding epic adventure.

Love gives up the right to get even.
