There are just certain times I sense the Lord is wanting me to write, and so I write.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

...when we are loving, we can't sin.

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.

We are so used to multi-tasking. 2014 was probably the most productive year of my life...But I noticed during the last couple of months when I would get alone with God it was hard to do one thing at a time.

A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
