You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
I do not appeal to you to screw up your courage and sacrifice for Christ. I appeal to you to renounce all you have to obtain life that satisfies your deepest longings.
You get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ.
Giving is a way of having what you need.
