Shame is removed through love.

One of the reasons people perish without a vision is that they cannot endure the pain and cost required to achieve any worthwhile purpose.

Powerful people can love without being loved back.

Jesus literally sliced through years of rabbinical law and cultural norms with the extreme love of God that sees the treasure in every human heart.

No one else can steward the fire inside of you because only you are in charge of it.

The more others encounter us honoring the boundaries we have set for our lives, the more they will know that they can trust us with their lives.

In being vulnerable, we reach for our greatest need while risking our greatest pain.
