In a relationship with God, our most secret places once thickly cloaked and meticulously hidden away now stand before us utterly and entirely exposed. And it may be that this dreaded fear is the single thing that keeps us an arm’s length from God, and forever a single step away from His blessings.

I am not ashamed of my God. But I am deeply ashamed of the fact that we have created a gospel that is far more of ‘us’ and far less of God. And more of ‘us’ is not anything that any of us need, but more of God is everything that we all need.

The dark might be dark, but at least we don’t have to look at ourselves when we’re standing in it.

Things becomes invisible at the very moment I refuse to grant them importance. And while I am utterly ashamed to admit it, many of the most important things in my life are invisible.

How often have we rather eagerly chosen the dark because the nature of it grants us the ability to be blind to the nature of ourselves. And while the choice of the darkness might hide our nature, it certainly reveals how ashamed we are of it.
