We are not called to be safe, we are simply promised that when we are in danger, God is right there with us. And there is no better place to be than in His hands.

Thankfully, God's plans also happen to be much better than my own.

Jesus wrecked my life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together more beautifully.

My heart lives in so many places. With so many people. But God whispers to me that I really have only one home, and that is with Him. I will never be content on this earth. I will always be a nomad. It was meant to be that way. My heart was created with a desire for a home, a nest, a sanctuary, and that can be found only with Him in Heaven.

We aren't really called to save the world-not even to save one person; Jesus does that. We are just called to love with abandon. We are called to enter into our neighbors' sufferings and love them right there.

Jesus called His followers to be a lot of things, but I have yet to find where He warned us to be safe.

I will not change the world. Jesus will do that. I can, however, let Him use me to change the world for one person.
