“The bar of my faith level has been significantly raised.  Now, instead of thinking, ‘Maybe me some day, after I get in better order…’, I am thinking out loud to God, ‘Why not me?  Why not now?”

“When we see our circumstances through heaven’s eyes, they will never overwhelm us”

“If you were the only one He would have died just for you”

“Come receive from God what you need.  Come learn how to take risks in your faith.  Come join us as we each fulfil God’s dream for us.”

“That is the way God sees us, you and me and everyone who has ever inched his way on this earth. He sees not our history but our destiny. Not what we once were but what we will one day become. He sees not our drizzly gray past but our sun-washed future, a rainbow full of promise arching over the whole of it. For God sees not as man sees. We see the disgusting sinner; He sees the destined saint.”

“Love sometimes can’t be seen, only felt; but such a wonderful thing is God’s love. His love makes everything possible. Fear is gone the moment love comes in. Peace is a mere by-product of His steadfast love, because peace comes when we are assured of protection day and night. Joy is the result of knowing that we belong to Someone who will never leave us nor forsake us.”
