No big shocker that following Jesus is costly. The best things in life always are.

It's not that we should declare the praises of God. It's that we may.

God didn't say, 'Be still and feel that I am God,' He said, 'Be still and know'.

There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.

We get into captivity because of our foolishness and we are more foolish that we want to admit.

Accept the fact that you're never gonna be someone else and embrace the fact that the world needs you as God made you to be.

Faithfully carry what God has put in your hands right now. This is God’s will.
