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

As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.

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

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.

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

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

I understand true life doesn't happen when I constantly gaze backwards, mulling over all the injustices others have done or I have done to others.
