Shame usually follows a pattern—a cycle of self-recrimination and lies that claims life after life. First, we experience an intensely painful event. Second, we believe the lie that our pain and failure is who we are—not just something we’ve done, or had done to us—and we experience shame. And finally, our feelings of shame trap us into thinking that we can never recover—that, in fact, we don’t even deserve to.

Your brain does not understand what you are capable of. There is way more inside of you than you can imagine.

What you fear reveals where you trust God the least

Never let the presence of a storm cause you to doubt the presence of God.

When we love deeply, love makes us do things we wouldn't otherwise do.

If you are not dead, you are not done.

Most of us could stop doing something that's hindering our passion for Jesus and effectiveness in following him.
