We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

Our task shouldn't be punishing the villains in our lives, but enlarging the God who heals us from all wounds.

We grow when the walls press in. We grow when life steals our control. We grow in the darkness.

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.
