As we learn to receive and live by God’s merciful power and plan, we become both witnesses to and bearers of heavenly grace.

The Bible is the world’s largest anthology of seriously messed-up people.

I love that God’s Word does not merely outline a bunch of spotless, picture-perfect personalities and lifestyles that I could never attain.

But the landscape of life is far richer than the peaks and lows, and the Lord is the architect of it all.

We easily forget that the Lord has an extraordinary ability to bring about the most amazing results out of the most seemingly ordinary circumstances.

I believe that God can grant any of us victory and peace right within the struggle, while at the same time constantly moving us forward in grace.

We cannot in any way resemble God if we do not to some degree possess in our innermost core an intense yearning for what is good and right.

As we come to God openly and honestly with whatever we feel, God will be faithful to walk us through it all, and even to work it all for our good.

Sometimes it takes a total break to lead to complete healing and restoration.
