Jesus called His followers to be a lot of things, but I have yet to find where He warned us to be safe.
Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption. It is the Gospel in my living room.
Thankfully, God's plans also happen to be much better than my own.
God doesn't tell us to care for the less fortunate, He demands it.
The fact that I loved Jesus was beginning to interfere with the plans I once had for my life and certainly with the plans others had for me. My heart had been apprehended by a great love, a love that compelled me to live differently.
I believe there is only one truly courageous thing we can do with our lives: to love unconditionally. Absolutely, with all of ourselves, so much that it hurts and then more.
