He is the God who loved you so much that His Son stripped Himself of all heavenly glory to live as an impoverished Jewish carpenter so He could shed His blood, suffer, and die for the forgiveness of our sins.

When it's clear that we have a commitment to God that comes before anything else in our lives, most people will respect us even if they don't share our faith.

We can give away all that He entrusts to us in the same spirit of generosity.

I realized that day that blessings come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.

I'm asking God to give you a Popeye moment. A moment when God blesses you with a divine burden: something that bothers you so deeply, you're moved from complacency to action.

I'm asking God to bless you with something that unsettles you, disturbs you, and upsets you.

When you reach out to God humbly, you'll find that He's already reaching out to you.
