“To think we must straighten up before we come back to Him reveals a misunderstanding of the cross. We are to come solely on the merit of the blood, not on the merit of an acceptable track record. Guilt is not God pushing us away from Him; it is God trying to put His arms around us.”

“People who meet you should meet Jesus.”

“If God is good and God is good to me, then I must fill in the gaps of all the unknowns of my life with a resounding statement of trust: God is good at being God. I don’t have to figure my present circumstances out. I don’t have to fill the silence left behind in another person’s absence. I don’t have to know all the whys and what-ifs. All I have to do is trust. So in quiet humility and without a personal agenda, I make the decision to let God sort it all out. I sit quietly in His presence and simply say, “God, I want Your truth to be the loudest voice in my life. Correct me. Comfort me. Come closer still. And I will trust. God, You are good at being God”

“Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ashes.”

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”

— Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭13-14‬ (via breanna-lynn)

I love how God draws me near, when He so very gently says to me, “my beloved child, please don’t carry it by yourself anymore, I’m right here. Let me carry you” on days I don’t even realize I’m carrying everything

“Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him.”

“We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.”

— John Calvin (via breanna-lynn)

““I am so thankful that I have a joy that the world can not rob me of; I have a treasure that the world can not take from me; I have something that is not in the power of man or devil to deprive me of, and that is the joy of the Lord.”

— D.L. Moody

“Radical obedience to Christ is not easy… It’s not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.”

— David Platt (via thesovereignword)
