I’ve got this amazing relationship with God that is better than life, itself, so marvelous, so wonderful that everything else can fall apart and I’m okay.
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.
...we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.
God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don't have the license to define love according to our standards.
God exists outside of time, and since we are within time, there is no way we will ever totally grasp that concept.
We don't get to decide who God is.
If life were stable, I'd never need God's help.
Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?
The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.
"Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?
The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
God's presence is all that matters.
