The fatal flaw of human wisdom is that it promises that you can change your relationships without needing to change yourself.

The Bible isn't a storybook with many heroes. No, there's only one hero in Scripture: the Son, the Lamb, the Savior, the King, the Redeemer - Jesus.

Every day you preach to yourself a gospel of your loneliness, inability, and lack of resources or you faithfully preach to yourself the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.

Today you will envy the blessings of another, or you will bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.
