Nothing will kill what you've been called to do more than comparing yourself to someone else.

Let your light shine today, and let your personality blossom, too. You don't have to be a people-pleaser, just a people-lover.

Faith is not believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God when everything in me trembles and quakes.

A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine altar.

God uses change to change us. He doesn’t use it to destroy us or to distract us, but to coax us to the next level of character, experience, compassion and destiny!

God has promised to every single one of us that even in our hardest times, if we would just hang on long enough, the blessing will come.

I think that ties in with issues of identity as well - that sometimes there are parts of us we want to hide, and then there's other times we say, "You know what? Nope. Done hiding that part."

I'll have to calm down a bit. Or else I'll burst with happiness
