Most believers aren't in imminent danger of ruining their lives. They're facing a danger that's far greater: wasting them.

Stop waiting for what you want, and start working what you've got. Your greatest limitation is God's greatest opportunity.

God will arrange every experience in your life to serve His purpose.

It shouldn't freak you out to realize that God's eyes are on you. Because He doesn't see you through eyes of disapproval or disappointment. His presence is not a sign of condemnation. It's actually an invitation. God is present with you, through His Holy Spirit, because He intends to uproot you from the tyranny of the familiar, shatter the monotonous life you've had. And take you on an adventure.

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

You may be living under the illusion that when God ignites great things in your life, He'll announce it with a big bang. He might. It's more likely that He won't. So stop waiting around for the big bang. Pay attention to the subtle clues and the still, small voice. God lives in that place too.

Gratitude begins where my sense of entitlement ends.
