In the midst of the shopping and the wrapping and the arranging of presents under your tree this Christmas, may you not forget the gifts you cannot yet hold in your hands.

We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

You cannot embrace your destiny if you do not let go of your history.

Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.

There is no room for God in a mind that's full of self.

I'm not particularly political. I'm not particularly denominational. I'm not worried about any of that.

May the passion to be all that God wants you to be sweep across your soul like a gentle breeze.
