Mark it down—your progress in holiness will never exceed your relationship with the holy Word of God.

The Christian life is not about all the things we do for God--it's about being loved by Him, loving Him in return, and walking in intimate union and communion with Him.

Proud people keep others at arm's length. Broken people are willing to take the risks of getting close to others and loving intimately.

Though my natural instinct is to wish for a life free from pain, trouble, and adversity, I am learning to welcome anything that makes me conscious of my need for Him. If prayer is birthed out of desperation, then anything that makes me desperate for God is a blessing.

Men are not inspired to protect women who are naked, but instead to conquer and violate them; they want to protect those who are clothed.

We will never meet God in revival until we have first met Him in brokenness.

No matter what I have done, no matter how I have failed, no matter how week I have been, no matter how inadequate I am, God has not changed. He has not failed.
