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

The roadblocks to growth and joy come when we forget the bigness of God & instead make people bigger than He is.

When the world careens out of control, we can rest in the fact that God spun this world with a simple word. Matter from emptiness. Beauty from void. Community from chaos.

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

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

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 cannot let the haters of this world define us. Or frighten us into no longer being ourselves.
