God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.

God's blessings are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith.

You come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned the heavens, he punished himself on the cross for your sins. God’s justice and love are equally honored. And you, God’s creation, are forgiven.

God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.

To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.

How my relationship with my parents influenced my writing, really not at all. My dad was a mechanic, my mom a nurse.

Don't see yourself as a product of your parents DNA, but rather as a brand new idea from heaven.
