Just knowing that God goes with us changes everything about the place that we’re going, as well as the place we were at before we went there.

Darkness is the place where God is not. Therefore, if I’m sitting in a bunch of darkness I’m living without much of God.

Eternity is never having to show up because there was never a time that you were not there. And because this is the nature of God, it’s not about asking Him to show up in our lives. Rather, it’s about asking Him to shine through our lives.

Fear is the absence of faith, while the presence of faith leaves us with the absence of nothing.
