Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

It's not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It's what you choose in that freedom that makes you free.

Gratitude changes your perspective about life. You see the future, experience the present, and remember the past in a dramatically different way.

We can’t change history, but we can create the future.
