‘God, whatever it takes for me to get to know You, I want it, because there's nothing else that can satisfy my heart like You.’

I am not lifting up shame, triggers or dysfunction as a virtue in themselves and certainly not holy, but do our triggers and dysfunction have no purpose? Not so much!

There’s a factor left unmentioned in my last post about the story of three tragic lives: GRACE! I wanted to dedicate a whole post to it.

Our deep despair over not being able to perform is both an invitation to lean into His life as well as a check that I'm probably kicking against the goads.

In the reality of brokenness, I can live in His grace and compassion for my fellow man because we all are sojourners in a broken land.

God’s vision of my world is eternal and redemptive, while my vision and discernment is just a spiritual diagnosis not the ultimate reality.

Do we ever think God is wasteful, extravagant, or excessive? If the answer is yes, then we might be judging things with human eyes!

We must be who we were created to be in order to ascend to who He’s made us to be. Living the earthy life makes us able to receives His Spiritual Life

His grace has shown me purpose for certain pains in my life, but simple understanding of what God takes us through really doesn’t have power in itself. No, where there’s power is in my yes.
