25 Quotes by Holley Gerth

God does have a perfect will. But it’s not like a straight path. It’s more like a GPS route. God has destinations for our lives, yes, but he also understands there will be detours, wrong turns, and delays along the way.

Excellence is doing what you can, with what you have, where you are, as you are.

Those stars that make us feel small were spoken into being by the One who walks beside you, lives within you, calls your name, and dares you to dream beyond yourself.

God says you’re one of a kind. He wants you to become more of who he created you to be, not a copy of someone else.

He shows us that our lives are about love and not performance. He extends mercy rather than demands. So even when we fall short in the eyes of others, we can still be confident standing tall in his. And we can lift others up by offering them true grace rather than our personal guidelines.

Because here’s the secret: in the kingdom of God, as long as you’re still fighting, you’re winning. God doesn’t hand out medals for performance. He hands out crowns for perseverance.

Jesus didn’t die on the cross to make us perfect in God’s eyes just so we could live our lives trying to make ourselves perfect too.

The pursuit of perfection keeps us from joy, love, peace, hope, and so many of the other gifts God intends for us.
