Your rest is not to be found in figuring your life out, but in trusting the One who has it all figured out for your good and His glory.

The gospel is permanent, even when our belief buckles under the world's weight.

Servant of Christ, if Satan can’t get you to quit, he’ll settle for stealing your joy. Don’t let him. Joy’s your birthright in Christ. Rejoice in the work. Offer it with liberality. You partner this day with the King of creation. Angels do His bidding. Take joy in such privilege!

It's Jesus. Even when I don't know it, I'm looking for Jesus.

On any given day we look to a short list of usual suspects for our identity. Our phones, laptops, calendars, or lists- these false friends prey on our weaknesses while we blindly reach to them for strength. They never fail to fail us. Jesus is what we're really looking for.

The contented heart is satisfied with the Giver and is therefore freed from craving the next gift.

Convictions are based off of a command. The best convictions are the hardest to hold fast to. You never get tested on the easy convictions.

God hasn't invited us into a disorderly, unkempt life but into something holy and beautiful- as beautiful on the inside as the outside.

The very thing that makes you YOU, that thing that makes you great, that makes you different from everyone else is also the thing that, unchecked, will ruin you.

Wisdom makes decisions today that will still be good tomorrow.

When we have the correct and appropriate view of God, all other knowledge falls into place.

If you're not careful with your yeses, you start to say no to some very important things without even realizing it.

To gain wisdom, it will cost you something. It may require us to prioritize wisdom over our own affections or choose to hold tightly to instruction when other things try to pull us away.

When it feels like God is withholding something from you, remember that He has offered the most important thing, a relationship with Himself and the forgiveness of sins.

The emotional state of our hearts is reflected in our actions.

The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.

Even in desperation our broken cries to the Lord create a path for deliverance.

Something amazing happens when we tie our wayward hearts to God's steadfast love.

God is preparing you for the very thing he has prepared for you. He has not forsaken you. He has not forgotten you. He has not tricked you. He has not lied to you. Don’t give in. Don’t give up. Don’t step back. Don’t drop out. Keep on pressing. It’s coming.

Grab a lonely dream And hold it tight
