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.

Our life’s power will always be within our YES to God. This is our way into the Kingdom, a path full of YES’s to God.

What if we simply, whole-heartedly opened our lives up to God when He poised something to us? It's as easy as YES!

Who’s in charge of my choice, me or my pout? The sad question of a simpleton perhaps, but that's okay because it broke through the din and stopped me cold.

A number of times I have weighed certain puzzling relationships on this ground: if we were in a battle, would this person die or flee to save their life?
