Brokenness is the shattering of my self-will - the absolute surrender of my will to the will of God.

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

Jesus has revealed Himself in the Scripture. If we want to know Him, if we want to know the Truth, we must devote ourselves to the reading, study, and meditation of His Word

God can be trusted. He keeps His promises. He doesn't make any mistakes.

We want gain without pain; we want the resurrection without going through the grave; we want life without experiencing death; we want a crown without going by way of the Cross. But in God's economy, the way up is down.

Christmas is all about surrender. It's all about the surrender of the Son to obey the perfect will of the Father and enter human history.

When God calls you to do something, He provides everything it takes to get it done.
