30 Quotes by Laura Story

God loves you so much that he gave his life for you. He didn't even have to think twice. He wants nothing but what's best for you, and he's more than worthy of your trust. Surrendering to him is no risk at all when you consider the height and depth and breadth of his love.

Friend, your mistakes don't define you any more than your victories do. You and I are defined by what God says about us (all those wonderful things in Ephesians 2!), not what the world says. When we've messed up, when we've hurt ourselves or others by our own selfishness, we should run toward God, not away from him! When we need mercy, we should go where mercy is found

The fact of the resurrection gives me real hope in the space between surrender and Sunday. I can trust the God who defeated sin and death for me for good. My Jesus surrendered once for all, for all of us. Thank goodness you and I are only called to imitate him in surrender, little by little, one moment at a time.
